Nigerians react

geetaycathybeks:

"He is actually talented and he built his brand as part of a trio and when Tuface left, it must have been devastating. His actions were as a result of that hurt and I guess he felt betrayed. Well I hope he has moved on and would somehow blow again."

tobbiakins:

"Absolutely the media manipulation is a dark powerful weapon."

foluberry:

"You made a number of derogatory comments and the media amplified them. I don’t see how the media is at fault here."

roseloto.rcl:

"If you valued your brand, you should have been cautious. In my opinion, you helped the media bring your brand down!"
