A graphic designer, Louisa Ejenavbo, took to Twitter in the early hours of Wednesday to call out Ramsey Noah and other production team of 'Living In Bondage Breaking Free'.
In a series of tweets, Ejenavbo alleged that she was initially summoned for the designs, but the team claimed the designs were not cool enough.
Stating that all she wanted was just compensation and acknowledgment, she alleged that she tried to reach out to Ramsey, but got ignored.
She tweeted “Almost 2 years after Living in Bondage (Breaking Free is out and guess what, they used my designs in the movie. My blood and sweat, my sleepless nights and broken backs after claiming they were not good enough. Worse of, I wasn't credited, I wasn't paid. I wasn't even compensated.
“I watched the movie just a few weeks ago and got really emotional when I saw my works. I have been trying to contact Ramsey and he has been ignoring. All I wanted was just to be compensated for my hard work.

“And that he truly understands how I feel and even promised to compensate me when he gets any money. Because of my kind of person, I was very fine with that. After all, working on such big project was really worth it. But this is where it gets really painful.
“Note, not all my designs were used. Which is fine by me even though I put in a lot of work. But here are some of the designs side by side scenes from the movie.

“In all honesty, all I ever wanted was to be acknowledged and compensated. Not ignored and belittled like a nobody. I have never dragged anyone on Twitter. I lead quite a private life and I'm all about my hustle. This is my story and your Retweet will help it be told.

But in another thread, she revealed that Ramsey had contacted her and she had also been compensated.
“My noise together with your Retweets got them to know and they have contacted me. They didn't know but now they do and have acted accordingly. I have been compensated. I am still proud to have worked on the movie and hope for future possibilities.
“UPDATE Twitter, I made that thread not to indict anybody but to sensitize about the issue and I am grateful that everyone was supportive to me. I didn't have a direct contact to Ramsey or the crew that is why I used social media. You can see I even tagged the wrong handle.
