Beth Model Africa in Poaching Scandal

In a post made on Instagram, a fast-growing modelling agency, EDKOL Model Management has called out the renowned Beth Model Africa for model poaching. Beth Model had made a post on their Instagram Story claiming to be representing a particular model whose contract with EDKOL Model Management was yet to expire.

EDKOL Model Management thereafter released a notice on their Instagram addressing the Instagram Story.
In a rather disappointing and condescending response to the notice, Beth Model Africa took no responsibility for the ‘mistake’, but instead, belittled the agency, citing their low number of followers. Also in the comment section, models signed to Beth Model Africa could be seen dropping abusive comments directed at EDKOL Model Management.

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!!! It has been brought to our notice that @bethmodelafrica via a post on their IG story has claimed to be representing David Ejikeme of @edkolmodels. Let it be known to the general public that David’s contract with EDKOL Model Management is yet to elapse and as such he remains contracted to EDKOL Model Management until he sees out his contract. We are using this medium to call on Beth Model Management to desist from such dastardly and despicable acts as it is unethical on all fronts. We urge them to take down said post and cease all communications with the model or risk legal action. cc @organisationformodelsinnigeria @mizaishabello @solaoyebade @bolajofawehinmi @uchenna_okwudima @ikechukwuurum @thestyleinfidel @mosesebite @adebayophotographer @esanharrisphotography @scar_pictures_ @patrickeidusi @pat_ada_eze @godwinwi @maxivive @tokyojamess @telvinnwafor @scarluxury @orangecultureng @nodgrod_st @emmykasbit @thestyleinfidelstudios @lagosfashionweekofficial @fashionsfinestafrica @instablog9ja @pulsenigeriafashion @pulsenigeria247 @lindaikejiblogofficial @bellanaijastyle @modelactiveminds
