In a video, she said that if she was to attend a wedding on a fixed date, she would not need to pay a bigger sum for her makeup and her accommodation because she would be coming from her home.
However, some brides would want their asoebi ladies to come a day earlier and this means that they would need shelter, which is supposed to be provided by the host.
The lady painted a scenario of a bride who wanted the asoebi ladies to pay N80k for hotel accommodation and Pearl felt it was insensitive.
According to her, she has spent money on the asoebi fabric and also paid for other expenses including her hair and makeup. She even sacrificed her time to grace the occasion. Hence, she can’t pay for her accommodation.
