Popular TV host Frank Edoho has sparked controversy after clashing with a lawyer on X (formerly Twitter) who made unwelcome remarks about his career.

In his post, the lawyer expressed disappointment seeing Edoho promoting a sports betting brand, instead of hosting the popular quiz show that once made him a household name.
He argued that individuals who never watched Edoho during his “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” days wouldn’t understand the heartbreak of now seeing him advertise a betting platform on TV.
The lawyer didn’t stop there; he went on to reply to another user who asked why the show ended.
He replied:
"I think the sponsors pulled out and he had some marital issues then."
This comment did not sit well with the veteran presenter.
Frank Edoho quickly fired back by dismissing the claim that his personal life had anything to do with the show ending. In a heated response, he mocked the lawyer’s statement and went as far as to insult him and his parents.
Frank responded:
"Sponsors pulled out because I had marital issues? 🤣🤣🤣 Since we are being stupid, why didn't your Father pull out when you were conceived? After all, he didn't really like your Mother. Tw@t."
His sharp reply immediately drew mixed reactions online as some users felt the lawyer crossed the line by dragging Edoho’s personal life into the conversation, while others argued that the TV star’s response was too harsh and unnecessary.
