Seyi Shay Slammed After Criticizing An Idol Contestant

After her bad criticism of a Nigerian Idol contestant, the whole of Twitter has seen Seyi Shay slammed really hard.

The music star sort of got more than she expected as she has been facing a lot of backlash from Nigerians.

Nigerians on Twitter called her out for criticizing and bullying the 17-year-old contestant after performing.

In her comments, the Nigerian singer said;

“Somebody lied to you. Somebody told you to come here and audition, you should go back and tell them that they aren’t your friend because that was not a good audition.

“You have a sweet-talking voice and it comes out in your singing voice but your performance is terrible.

“You are never going to make money being a singer. I love you, you are so sweet but you are not a singer. You are not a singer.

“For songwriting, hit me up, we could talk but that singing, it is not going to work. Sorry, Darling.”

Well, this didn’t sit well with most Nigerians, as Twitter went crazy after this criticism.

I don't know if Seyi Shay was harsh or not, but my own be say upcoming artiste no suppose dey any panel dey judge fellow upcoming artistes.

I don’t get why you people are angry tbh, Seyi Shay was merely speaking from experience. She probably knows a thing or two about not making it as a singer.

Seyi Shay looked at someone and said "you'll never make money as a singer"

Definitive. The god-complex. The guy clearly stated that he's nervous.

Some people are terrible.
