January 08, (THEWILL) – Billionaire businesswoman and Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil Limited, Folorunsho Alakija, has dissociated herself from an AI-generated video and audio promoting a weight loss product called Lipocarnit.
In a post on X, Alakija said the video, shared on “a fraudulent Facebook page, Cosy Decide 11″, was designed to deceive unsuspecting individuals.”
She added, “The videos and voice being used are maliciously created using AI”, she said, adding that it is “a gross misuse of technology and an attack on my person and reputation.”
Emphasising she has no affiliation with the page, Alakija said she has never endorsed or promoted any weight loss product, including Lipocarnit.
“If you have been contacted or scammed by this page, I urge you to report it to Facebook and relevant authorities,” she added.
