Laura Ikeji reveals how she lost close friend after refusing to flaunt birthday Cartier bracelet

Laura Ikeji reveals how she lost close friend after refusing to flaunt birthday Cartier bracelet

Nigerian businesswoman Laura Ikeji has recounted how a close friendship ended after she declined to publicly display a Cartier bracelet she received as a birthday gift.

In a video shared online, Laura said the woman, who was initially her customer before they became friends, surprised her with the expensive bracelet on her birthday in March 2025.

She explained that she was excited about the gift and immediately told her friends about it. However, the relationship reportedly became strained when the woman later began asking when she would post the bracelet on social media.

“A few days later, she sent me a message. She said, ‘When are you posting it?’ I'm like, posting what?” Laura recalled.

The businesswoman said she would previously have shared such a gift repeatedly and tagged the giver, but her attitude towards social media had changed over time.

“Before now, the Laura that I know would post that bracelet ten times and tag the person that gifted me ten times. Now, I'm very happy, but not as loud as I used to be,” she said.

Laura added that being in her late 30s and concentrating on building her business had made her less interested in publicly displaying every gift or personal experience.

She said the woman later questioned whether her refusal to post the bracelet meant she thought it was fake, despite having already sent her the purchase receipt.

According to Laura, she sent the woman a photograph of herself wearing the bracelet to show that she appreciated the gift, but the disagreement continued.

She eventually asked whether the woman wanted the bracelet returned, after which the latter reportedly told her to do whatever she wanted.

“She said, ‘Do whatever you want.’ So automatically, I knew that she wanted her bracelet back,” Laura said.

The businesswoman explained that she packaged the bracelet and sent her driver to return it.

“And that was how the friendship ended,” she concluded.
