The world of influence is fast-paced, unpredictable, and sometimes, downright messy—Episode 7 of Under the Influence is all the proof you need. From career wins to social media highs, and late-night parties to quiet moments of reflection, this episode serves up a cocktail of ambition, rivalry, and the ever-growing pressure of success.
Where We Left Off
If you’ve been following Dami and Ayo’s journey, you already know that their relationship as brothers has been anything but smooth. Between Ayo’s strict, no-nonsense approach to life and Dami’s carefree, social media-driven hustle, tensions have been building. And after the explosive fallout in episode six, it’s clear that neither of them is ready to back down. Meanwhile, Amaka is struggling with her influencer identity, Folarin is keeping secrets, and Oye is proving to be the ever-loyal best friend.
Same Blood, Different Worlds
While Ayo is focused on securing major deals and climbing the corporate ladder, Dami is basking in the glow of growing social media fame. Hitting 100K followers should be a reason to celebrate, right? Well, not for Dami—he’s got his sights set on a million. But Oye, ever the supportive friend, won’t let this milestone go unnoticed.
Ayo, on the other hand, lands what might be the biggest deal of his career, and for once, he allows himself to celebrate. With Ivie by his side, he finally takes a moment to enjoy his success. But with every win comes the weight of responsibility, and Ayo is still navigating what that means for him.
Temptation, Tension, and Tough Choices
As Dami gets his first taste of paid influencing, he meets Bode, who introduces him to a world where money flows faster—but not necessarily legally. The promise of “real money” lingers in the air, tempting Dami in ways he never expected. Will he take the bait, or is he willing to grind it out the hard way?
Meanwhile, the nightlife and party scene take center stage, bringing familiar faces together. Amaka and Dami reconnect, sharing a moment that doesn’t go unnoticed by Folarin. And just when things seem to be settling down, Dami returns home to an unexpected surprise—one that raises more questions than answers.
What’s Next?
Episode 7 perfectly captures the reality of chasing success—whether in corporate business or the digital world. The stakes are higher, the temptations stronger, and the pressure more intense. But at what cost? As the season unfolds, one thing is clear: no one gets to the top without a few scars along the way.
