Spiritual advisor Heir Holiness has confirmed that she is indeed Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya’s “personal manager” after previously denying to Page Six that she worked for the star.
Heir Holiness — real name Vanylla Salimah Mahmoud, 50 — has set up a new Instagram account identifying herself as “Daniel Kaluuya’s personal manager” and the COO of Greater Good Entertainment, as well as an expert in “mentoring, management and artist development.”
