Most celebrity social media fights are usually planned – Actress Nkechi Blessing

Controversial Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing Sunday recently declared that why certain celebrities have online conflicts is just for the purpose of chasing clout.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, she revealed that several celebrities utilise it as a publicity gimmick for a song or project they intend to promote.

Nkechi Blessing claims that she ignores and stays out of celebrity fights when she witnesses them online because she knows that sometimes the celebrities arrange the “fight.”

According to Nkechi Blessing:

“My thoughts on celebrities bashing each other on the Internet, I feel it’s some form of publicity stunt. By the time they come out on social media to exchange words, is either they have a new single coming up or they’re about to drop a song.

“So most times when I see celebrities fighting online, I just walk away because most times we sit down and plan these things.

“Sometimes, it’s not actually bad blood. As I said they might want to release a single so they will need all the clout and engagements to get their songs out there in your faces. So that’s it literally.”

This occurs only a few weeks after Davido and Wizkid, two well-known singers, got into an argument on the microblogging site X.

Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, and David Adeleke, nicknamed Davido, got into a nasty fight in April that led to a significant rift among coworkers.

In the midst of the back-and-forth insults and disparaging remarks, Wizkid bragged that Davido would never be able to compete with him even if he decided to leave the music business today.

He described the Omo Baba Olowo as his “boy” and noted that the Grammy nominated artiste is just an influencer with a songwriter.

Wiz wrote; 

“I got nun to say to u my boy! I can retire today and you still not on my level. You be influencer with a song writer. Wish u well.”

It was a reply to Davido who had publicly tackled Wizkid for shading him by reposting a video which recently went viral on social media amid cheating allegations.
