This is not about Linda Ikeji, this is about what Wizkid did. Threatening violence. It is not okay. It could have been to anyone.

If this was in some other societies, Wizkid would have lost endorsements & apologised publicly! But this na Naija, anything goes #KnowBetter

This Linda Ikeji and Wizkid situation is un-sidable from my end but just a few things.

1. If Linda Ikeji has allegedly chatted rubbish about you, i am guessing you have a lawyer. Please sue her.

— SNAPCHAT: AVARIBERRY (@AVARIBERRY) April 17, 2016

2. If the proper words are not in place like “allegedly” and such. Sue Linda Ikeji. Stop ranting on social media.

— SNAPCHAT: AVARIBERRY (@AVARIBERRY) April 17, 2016

3. If the rumor published is untrue and you feel the need to clear the air, do so. So Linda can retract.

— SNAPCHAT: AVARIBERRY (@AVARIBERRY) April 17, 2016

4. No one needs the truth, just let them know what has been published is a lie. Good or bad stories.

— SNAPCHAT: AVARIBERRY (@AVARIBERRY) April 17, 2016

5. If she doesn’t retract a story after proof. SUE Linda Ikeji.

— SNAPCHAT: AVARIBERRY (@AVARIBERRY) April 17, 2016

6. We on social media can only laugh and empathize. We cannot help you sue Linda Ikeji.

— SNAPCHAT: AVARIBERRY (@AVARIBERRY) April 17, 2016

7. You cannot come on social media and threaten someone and be pissed that person was the smarter to involve the law.

Who remembers this? Did she ever apologize? Even considering CHILDREN were involved and could be hurt by false gist? pic.twitter.com/4IWhld2Rdh

There have been many stories she published and she later found she was wrong but never for ONCE apologized or retracted cos of stupid pride!

Someone who bullies you when she suspects you don’t like her. Thank God God raise Toke, Tonto, Lola and many others above her malice

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

My own started after I made a snide remark about not wanting my Champayne life on her blog cos of negativity. After that sh*t hit the roof.

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

Let’s not even bring late Goldie &how she was bullied mercilessly. Then all of a sudden she was a friend after she died. If d dead can speak

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

I can respect a fair & balanced reporting but I can NEVER respect anyone who uses their platform to hurt those she feel has issues with her

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

I love my women folk but I’m sorry I will never stand with another woman when I know in my heart she is foul.

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

The solution is simple.. She was wise enough to take legal action .. People she writes about should also do the same. If she defames u, SUE!

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

She has influenced a truck load of unprofessional copy and pasters who just don’t care.. They post any and anything fake! Dumb headlines too

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

They have single handedly destroyed what journalism is in Nigeria! Even the “used to be” credible paper follow join

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

Unfortunately Naija is a country where if you flash money, all your wrongs will look right to SOME.. It doesn’t change when someone is wrong

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

The MO doesn’t change. Just a new victim .. Tiwa and co should be glad they have immunity .. until they say something about her and lose it

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

I don’t condone violence and Wiz shouldn’t have said those words out of anger but she isn’t innocent in this either.

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

Someone will purposely try 2 drive u to insanity &cos she flashes money, some will say she is doing her job. Doing ur job is being OBJECTIVE

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

When she said “let me leave u before I finish ur career” those were VERY conscious words based on EXPERIENCE ! She feels she has that power

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

and true to form a lot of “celebrities” are scared to speak up cos they don’t want her “wahala” but talk behind her back… RUBBISH!

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

It’s also funny to me how when the shoe was on the other foot with her fake bent Birkin, she had a meltdown!

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

If u have a meltdown over ordinary bag, what should people you have consistently let ur minions tear apart do? Do unto others as u ………

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

Is she doesn’t like u, she will never insult you herself.. Simple carry ur picture with caption “FIERCE” and her minions will do the rest

— Official Toni Payne (@tonipayne) April 17, 2016

My advise to women and even men is don't build ur wealth at the expense of other people's lives and expect 0 reactions or criticisms.
