Her plea went viral and sparked heavy backlash for Olivia.
Olivia vs Ida the Baker story
In her series of videos narrating what transpired between her and Olivia, Ida the Baker said she was contacted by a close friend who had recommended her to the influencer and restaurant CEO.
Olivia told her she needed help with baking at a video shoot, which she agreed to.
Ida claimed the requirements of the deal did not allow her to bill Olivia beforehand, so she informed her that she would provide an invoice when her work was completed.
The baker claimed that despite working with her at the video shoot for hours, Olivia ostensibly did not provide payment after the event.

She further claimed that Olivia even engaged her services at the Porials Pitch event organised by Dulcie Boateng, once again without paying.
At the end of their engagement, she billed Olivia GH₵ 7,950, which she, based on Ida's version of events, failed to pay. The baker stated that she tagged her in some posts on social media in an attempt to get her money.
