As many Nigerians and Africans continue to condemn the killing of fellow Africans, especially Nigerians in South Africa, Instagram Celebrity, Hushpuppi has also spoke up against the xenophobic attacks.
However, in condemning the attacks in South Africa, Hushpuppi also attacked Nigerian celebrities who have not said anything yet about the killings. He wrote:
“After you all will want to post them and claim they are your besties, FUCK ALL MY SOUTH AFRICAN FRIENDS THAT DONT SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND FUCK YOU NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES THAT DONT SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM ENOUGH TO SPEAK ABOUT TILL NOW“
2Face Idibia who have earlier condemned the attack replied him, saying Hushpuppi should not turn celebrities into the problem since the killings going on is the ‘real sad problem here’. He wrote:
Dear @hushpuppi this is absolutely uncalled for. There’s a real sad problem here. Its a good thing for you to speak about it but don’t start turning celebrities to being the problem cos they are not. If u want 2 fight for your people its fine. U don’t have the right 2 harrass another person for not speaking up YET cos u don’t live in their heads. U don’t know what plans they have. U don’t know whats going on in their hearts. Pls let us be guided . One love.
Many people believe 2Face misunderstood Hushpuppi because the celebrities have many followers on social media and also have a lot of influence in the opinion of many and should not be quiet in a situation like this. Read how people reacted below.
