AFRO TO HIS BEATS

CHAPTER 21

TOLANI'S POV

I press record on my camera and wait for the countdown. "3... 2... 1..." My heart races with excitement as I beam into the lens. "Hey, Laninators! Welcome back to my channel! Today, we are going to be unboxing PR packages I have been hoardingggggg!!!" I can barely contain my excitement. I adjust myself on the plush couch, surrounded by a colorful array of boxes that could rival any holiday gift pile.

"Okay, let's get right into it!" I say, reaching for the first box, which is a stunning shade of blue. "Ooh, blue box! I likee! It's..." I take a closer look and nearly scream. "Tiffany & Co.!" My fingers tremble as I open the lid, revealing a gorgeous set of jewelry.

"Wow! Oouu wee, I love this so much! So pretty! Oh my gosh!" I pull out a delicate silver necklace and earrings, sparkling under the soft lighting of my room. "Tiffany really knows how to make a girl feel special! Let's see what they included in the PR card," I say, flipping the card over.

The card reads, "Dear Tolani, we hope you enjoy this beautiful set as much as we enjoyed creating it. Shine bright! Love, Tiffany & Co." I place it to the side, grinning ear to ear. "How sweet is that? Thank you, Tiffany! You guys are the best!"

Next, I spot a chic Gucci bag peeking out from another box. "Oh my gosh, you guys! We are just getting started!" I grab the bag and notice a handwritten PR letter tucked inside. I pull it out and read it aloud, "Hey Tolani! We are thrilled to share our new collection with you. Can't wait to see how you style this beauty! Love, Gucci." I smirk at the camera. "You know I'll rock it, Gucci! I mean, who doesn't want to be draped in designer?"

I set the bag down gently, taking a moment to admire it. "I can already envision it paired with my favorite mini dress for a night out in Lagos!"

Speaking of which, I grab the next package, this one wrapped in a sleek brown paper. "Fendi, what do you have for me?" I tear open the wrapping and pull out a gorgeous jacket, the fabric soft and luxurious to the touch. "This is absolutely divine! I can't wait to strut my stuff in this! Fendi really came through!"

"Let's see what else is in this box!" I dig deeper and pull out three adorable mini bags, each one cuter than the last. "Okay, I'm officially obsessed!"

I toss the bags into the air, giggling as they land safely on the couch. "A mini bag for every occasion, am I right?" I say with a wink. "We're keeping it chic, Laninators!"

Next, I have a box that smells divine as I open it. "Ooh, what's this? Dior!" I breathe in the intoxicating scent as I pull out the perfumes. "I got Miss Dior Eau de Toilette, Oud Ispahan Esprit de Parfum, Dior Lip Oil, and some other goodies!" I laugh, feeling like a true beauty guru. "You all know I have my line with Dior, and now I get to layer these fragrances! Let's get into it!"

I reach for the Miss Dior first, spritzing a bit on my wrist. "Oh wow! This scent is just... mwah! Perfection! You all have to get your hands on this!" I wave my wrist in front of the camera, making sure my viewers see the sparkle in my eyes. I exclaim, pulling out some Dior Lip Oil. "This is going to keep my lips hydrated and glossy. You know how we do! Gotta keep it chic!" I laugh, imagining all the Instagram selfies I'll take with this new beauty. "And Oud Ispahan? It's a whole mood!"

Suddenly, my excitement heightens as I reach for a familiar box. "And, guys, look at this!" I open it to reveal a pair of Beats by Dre x Kim Kardashian headphones. "Like, how iconic is this? Kim K knows how to deliver a vibe! Let's see what her letter says." I pull out the card and read, "Hey Tolani! We hope these headphones help you enjoy your favorite tracks. Love, Kim."

"Y'all know I live for music! And speaking of music, let me just say I have been vibing to new tracks non-stop!" I chuckle to myself "Okay, what do we have next?" I reach for a sleek black box and pull out a stunning pair of Balenciaga shoes. 'You no see say na Balenciaga I dey rock, abeg, no dey march am!'" I laugh, doing a little shimmy on the couch.

I dive back into the pile, my hands grazing over the next package, and gasp. "Wait, what's this? A mini-dress from Balenciaga?" I pull out the sleek black number and can't help but hold it up to my body. "Yaaas, this is giving major vibes! Perfect for a date night with... a certain someone." I wink at the camera, my thoughts immediately flicking to Rema.

"Oh, and look at these shades!" I whip out a stunning pair of oversized Balenciaga sunglasses. "You know I'm gonna be strutting around in these, serving looks like the queen I am! 'Dressed all Balenciaga,' baby! You already know!"

As I continue, I notice a box with SKKN branding. "What do we have here?" I open it to reveal a skincare kit. "I mean, you guys know I'm all about taking care of my skin. Kim, you know I appreciate this!" I pull out each product, explaining how I plan to incorporate them into my routine.

Then, I move on to Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics box. "Ooh, Kylie, you are spoiling me! Look at these lip kits. They're everything!" I hold them up, excited. "I can't wait to try these in a look."

As I unwrap more packages, I can't help but squeal at the Selena Gomez Rare Beauty products. "And we can't forget about Selena's Rare Beauty!" I show off the blush and highlighter. "The formula is literally to die for! It's glowy without being overpowering. Love, love, love!"

"Now onto the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna!" I exclaim, unable to hide my enthusiasm. "Rih, you know how to get my heart racing!" I show off the foundation, mascara, and lip gloss. "I'm feeling like a whole glam squad just walked into my life!" 

I dive into a stunning package filled with luxurious sunglasses from Prada, rings from Pandora, and a Cartier watch. "This is the watch of dreams, honey! I can already picture myself wearing it on a yacht!" I twirl my wrist, pretending to catch the sun.

Then comes the pièce de résistance—a Van Cleef jewelry set that makes my heart skip a beat. "OMG, is this real life?" I squeal. "This is going to elevate all my outfits!"

And just when I think it can't get any better, I spot a Louis Vuitton bag peeking out from one of the boxes. "What?! Louis? You know me too well! I am literally living for this!" I hold it up to the camera, showcasing the chic design.

"Okay, Laninators, we're not done yet! Look at this! I got merch from Ayra Starr!" I pull out a TYIT 21 hoodie and sweatshirt, the fabric so soft I can't help but stroke it. "And I can't believe I'm finally getting to wear this! I've been dying to get my hands on this!" I exclaim, my eyes lighting up. "You know I had to snag one because I took Rema's, right?"

I laugh at the memory of stealing Rema's hoodie, and I glance at the camera. "Rema, if you're watching this, I love you, but girl code first!"

Then I spot a TTT hoodie from Crayon. "Ah, Crayon! You always keep me fresh!" I hold it up and do a little shimmy. "And Rema's Rave n Roses hoodie! But... this one I can't read out loud, guys." I flash a cheeky grin, tucking the letter away for a moment. "But just know that it's sweet, and I'm definitely blushing!"

As I wrap up the unboxing, I can't help but feel incredibly grateful. "This has been an amazing haul, and I can't wait to style all these pieces! If you love these PR packages as much as I do, give me a thumbs up and comment down below what you're most excited about! Also, let me know what I should wear first!"

With a flourish, I end the video. "Alright, Laninators, until next time! Stay fabulous!" I wave goodbye and hit the stop button, a satisfied smile on my face.

My phone buzzes with a notification. I glance down, and my heart sinks. It's a post from legit.ng, and the headline reads.

I can feel my stomach drop, my heart racing with confusion and a touch of betrayal. 

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!!!!???"
