Basketmouth blasted Teebiliz for exposing his marital problems on social media

Nigerian comedian,
Basketmouth, has lashed out on celebrities using social network
platforms such as twitter, facebook, instagram and the likes to expose
their marital problems, citing the case of Tiwa as a case study.

Basketmouth made his opinion know in an interview with The Gist aired on Hip TV
Saturday, August 13:
"To a large extent, I think there

are a lot of people abusing the
use of social media, I am sorry.
Most of us artistes realizing that
we have I, 2, 3 or 4 million
people following us and you
know that when you say
something, a lot of people are
going to react." "It is like drug;
you can't contain yourself and
start saying some crap. You are
like a god having a lot of
followers, whatever you tell them
to do, they do."

"I am okay with people who go
on social media to rant but I am
against those who have turned it
into a church to settle family
issues. Normally, if you have a
marital problem, you call your
wife one on one. If you cannot
contain it, you call in the parents.
That's how I saw it when I was
growing up which is the culture I
have embraced. "In Teebillz
situation, the way he spoke on
social media really appeared as
though he was going to commit
suicide and said horrible things
to his father."
"Those words were words you
say and just die, but now that he
is still alive, how would he face
his father? It would have been
better if he had just written a
letter to the man instead of
putting it online. Unfortunately
again, he went to blast his wife
and his wife's mother. These are
things that shouldn't be put
online."
"Another thing is that Tiwa has a
larger following than Teebillz,
after Tiwa blasted him, it was
extreme and it crushed him. He
had no comeback; there is no
comeback to things like that."

Basketmouth also use the opportunity to talk about the clash he had with Davido:
"There are so many times that I
allow issues to slide, for instance,
I said a joke that happened to be
out of context about Davido;
Davido was really upset. He didn't
come at me, but I was a little bit
shaded with what he said. I
wanted to react but instead, I
apologised. "Personally for me,
war should be war, come and
say whatever you want to say to
my face. It is wise for you not to
bring out your personal issues
on social media and that's what I
stand for.
"If it is a clap back at an artiste
like yourself, then it is your
choice. Once it gets to family, let
those ones be in your house, let
your Instagram and twitter
group be between you, her
father, her mother and herself."
