Speaking on the movie, the executive producer, Edak Willie said: “It feels so good to have produced this movie. It has always been a dream to do something exceptional. Having to do this and see it come to materialisation is a great thing. We saw the contemporary issues going around and how social media is the rave of our time. We have seen how it is affecting people both positively and negatively and ‘Rant Queens’ leverages on how you can use your voice positively to make an impact.”

Producer, Moyinoluwa Olutayo, also expressed how honoured she felt to have produced the movie. She said: “It’s a great opportunity to have produced this movie. Social media has the power to either make or mar you and we saw that this is a global issue that needs to be addressed. How you use the social media, especially in the entertainment industry, matters, so we decided to make this movie. Social media gives you a voice. The question now is, the voice that it gives to you, how do you use it?
