The beauty entrepreneur drew attention on social media after sharing a series of posts celebrating the outcome of the legal dispute.
In one of the posts, Kene appeared to criticise what she described as excessive publicity surrounding wealth and status.
She wrote: “A legacy is not by riding bikes abroad and paying blogs to publicise wealth that is so common.”
In a follow-up post, the influencer suggested that success should be built through hard work and enterprise rather than attempts to acquire what belongs to others.
She wrote: “How do you explain to your children that you saw someone else’s building and wanted it so bad you wasted your time, manipulating the political systems to try and take it but still lost. What a joke.
“If you like something so much, the time spent in launching books, why not use it to learn how the people who actually made it from scratch did it. We are and have always been confident because we don’t take or envy what belongs to others; we build our own with dedication, time, hardwork and most importantly prayer.”
The remarks quickly gained traction across social media platforms, with users debating the comments and the circumstances surrounding the reported court case.
Although Kene did not directly mention Otedola by name in the quoted posts, many online observers linked the comments to the billionaire businessman due to the timing of her remarks and discussions surrounding the legal dispute.
