It's important that Zubby offered support

After Zubby Michael faced some backlash for how he gave Jnr Pope's family some money, Legit.ng had a chat with media expert Yinka Odutuyo, and this is what he had to say:

"It’s hard to tell the intention behind how he chose to give the money. The important thing is that he offered support for the family at what is truly a difficult and trying time for them. People will always talk regardless, but at the end of the day, who is taking action and actually doing something tangible? Definitely not the people dropping criticism on the internet."
