She also recently held a Tribal marks challenge where her followers would join in the campaign with artificial tribal marks on their faces.

 Adetutu told BBC:

My name is Adetutu OJ Alabi; a single mum, face model with tribal marks. Oh! and Rihanna followed me on Instagram. People were telling me ‘Rihanna follows you as well’. I said ‘no, show me, prove it’. I’ve always been a fan of Rihanna; I did a photoshoot I just posted it on my social media handles. Nigerians and other countries took it up until she followed me, well I was very happy…

This is further another successful journey for Adetutu. As her interview with BBC Africa goes global, more awareness will come to her.
