In the past few days, there has been no let-off in the war of words between singer, Wizkid and blogger, Linda Ikeji.
Many Nigerians who have followed the attacks by the duo on
each other in the social
media have expressed
utter disappointment at the use of ‘dirty’ words by Wizkid. Question is asked, should celebrities be provoked to the extent of using unclad words on personalities on air or in print? Michael Uzoma Michael writes on the rift.
An expose on Linda Ikeji’s blog about the palatial home of the music star in Lekki,
Lagos being on rental
started off the latest round of war between the now sworn enemies. Wizkid, it
was said, had before now claimed ownership of the home. Ikeji’s revelation obviously did not go down well with Wizkid who immediately fired back at the blogger, employing derogatory comments.
To say the use of such
words as ‘stinking honeypot’ is obscene and offensive to many, is to state the obvious. Are these celebrities the kind of role models this country needs?
Wizkids response is not
justified in any way or
manner.
Notwithstanding their ages, our celebrities
should know that many
youths look up to them and there is, therefore, the need for them to be civil in their utterances and actions.
Our entertainers should
devise better ways of
responding to criticisms or negative press other than unnecessary display of tantrums and resort to abuses and use of inelegant words which diminish them
before right thinking and decent members of the public.
Quite frankly, it needs be stated that many stories around these entertainers are negative as they often
times bother on scandals.
Our musicians, in particular, will do their image good by employing professionals as public relations officers or consultants.
A well-managed artiste
obviously would have
reacted to Ikeji’s expose in a more civilized manner or
even in a light-hearted form and I bet the matter would
have not escalated to the point of being a general knowledge.
Even at the risk of being accused of taking
side, I dare say Wizkid is actually hurting himself with his unguarded and vitriolic
rants.
The musician’s allegation that his director not only
slept with Ikeji but had to abandon her in hotel
because her ‘private’ stinks caused a big lashback.
Though the blogger denied this allegation, many people have been hazarding a guess as to which of Wizkid’s directors could be behind the snitching of
Linda? Let’s look at the
directors that have worked with the Ojuelegba crooner:
1. Del B
2. Maleek Berry
3. Moe Musa
4. Sesan
5. Shizzi
