Internet Trolls And Backlash Online Don’t Affect Me – Seyi Law

Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law has stated that he’s not affected by internet trolls and backlash.
He made the statement in a recent talk show on HipTV.
Seyi explained, “Internet trolls and backlash online, for me, even if I respond, it ends there. I don’t take it into my personal life, you don’t see me outside showing it on my face.”
 
“Some would say that they are E-warriors; as long as I try to be compassionate and kind to people, I am in the right standing with my creator. Once I’m in the right standing with my creator, every other thing doesn’t matter,” he explained.
Seyi Law also addressed the clear line between personal insults and what he viewed as defamation, urging people to avoid defamatory claims without proof.
He said, “For those who reply and those who choose to arrest anyone that has defamed then, I don’t advise them otherwise. You can insult someone and you can abuse them but don’t defame them. Don’t say they collected money when you didn’t see them collect money, don’t call them ashawo when you didn’t see them involved in prostitution.”
 
“When a person insults me, those things don’t matter to me, that is your problem but don’t defame. Don’t cross the boundary that will take you to jail. The one’s that I feel I can reply, I reply and the ones that I don’t seem necessary, I ignore,” Seyi Law concluded.

Young Artistes Have Reduced Quality Of Music – Korede Bello Says

Korede Bello, the popular Nigerian singer, has said that young artistes have reduced the quality of music coming out of the country.

The 28-year-old spoke in a recent episode of Hip TV’s programme Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah.

According to him, young artists lack the experience to make quality music.

He claimed that the younger an artist attains stardom, the more the quality of their music declines.

Bello said, “When you start to have young artists blowing up, the quality of the music starts to reduce because they don’t have quality experiences.

“They don’t know how to live yet. Young people don’t yet know how to live, they just know that they are living. They want to live large, so that’s what they’re going to sing about.

“If you listen to an African China, where he’s coming from, he has seen things. Timaya, Fela—all have experiences. Their songs are expressions of reality.

“We should not blame these young artists; you can only give what you have.”
