Nigerian Twitteratti has slammed popular songstress Seyi
Shay over her harsh verdict on a young singer at this year’s audition of the
television reality show, Nigerian Idol.
Seyi Shay, whose real name is Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua, was
a judge on the reality television show on Sunday.
Seyi Shay had told the singer, “Somebody lied to you and
told you to come and audition, and that person, you should go back and tell
them they’re not your friends because that was not good audition.
“Oh, you have a good talking voice, and it comes out in your
singing voice, but your performance, terrible. You’re never going to make money
being a singer.”
Imagine Seyi Shay telling a 17 year old with good voice, who has passion for singing that “YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO MAKE MONEY BEING A SINGER”. Cos you’re God abi?pic.twitter.com/QZsBVNWutG

The singer, who said he was nervous, walked out devastated
after the verdict.
Reacting, @endi4tim tweeted, “Such comments in some cases
can lead to suicide. She shattered his hope. Seyi Shay should be removed as a
judge from #NigeriaIdol.”
“Seyi Shay’s choice of words are actually worse than that
boy’s performance,” another tweep, @Elvis_Vitalis1 wrote.
@realpault stated, “How I wish that the young man will
become successful and the video of Seyi Shay spewing nonsense on him will
resurface. It will happen.”
“It speaks of who Seyi Shay is, in no manner should she
alter words of that magnitude to the boy. Some individuals don’t know
communication skills and this is on whoever brought her on board,” tweeted
@jaiyeoflagos.
However, some users believed the judge passed the right
comment.
@iam_m_mujeeb wrote, “Seyi Shay might sound harsh but she
said the truth and if he(singer) wants to sing he has a lot to learn.”
“Seyi Shay did no wrong. She was straight and real. She did
great by acknowledging his passion for music, but suggested areas he can thrive
besides singing. Good judgment,” @Anyisabali stated.
