Port Harcourt based food vendor recently lost a N500,000 giveaway from Nigerian artist Zlatan Ibile after the singer discovered past social media posts where she had criticized him.
According to reports, Zlatan had initially selected the vendor as a winner in his giveaway, aimed at supporting small businesses. However, upon reviewing her profile, he came across old tweets from 2020 in which she made negative remarks about him. Upset by the discovery, Zlatan revoked the giveaway and awarded it to another contestant.
The incident has sparked a heated debate online, with some people defending Zlatan’s decision, arguing that people should be mindful of their online behavior, while others believe he should have overlooked the past comments.
What do you think? Should celebrities forgive past criticisms, or is Zlatan justified in his decision?
