The singer took to Twitter to react to Nigerians after they attacked her for her comments.

Popular Nigerian singer and one of the hosts of the Nigerian Idol show, Seyi Shay has reacted after Nigerians dragged her for criticising a 17-year-old male contestant during the audition.

The young chap appeared before the judges of the show including Seyi Shay. She was unimpressed by his performance and told him he will do well as a songwriter, not a singer because he’s a ‘terrible’ performer.

”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” she said.
