Nigerian comedian Seyi Law recently shared his insights in an interview regarding how he manages online trolling from fans, emphasizing the difference between insults and trolling directed at celebrities.
During his appearance on HipTV, he discussed his transition from comedy to politics and addressed how he handles criticism from social media users.
Seyi explained, “Internet trolls and backlash online, for me, even if I respond, it ends there. I don’t take it into my personal life, you don’t see me outside showing it on my face.”
“Some would say that they are E-warriors; as long as I try to be compassionate and kind to people, I am in the right standing with my creator. Once I’m in the right standing with my creator, every other thing doesn’t matter,” he explained.
Seyi Law also addressed the clear line between personal insults and what he viewed as defamation, urging people to avoid defamatory claims without proof.
He said, “For those who reply and those who choose to arrest anyone that has defamed then, I don’t advise them otherwise.
“You can insult someone and you can abuse them but don’t defame them. Don’t say they collected money when you didn’t see them collect money, don’t call them ashawo when you didn’t see them involved in prostitution.”
“When a person insults me, those things don’t matter to me, that is your problem but don’t defame. Don’t cross the boundary that will take you to jail. The one’s that I feel I can reply, I reply and the ones that I don’t seem necessary, I ignore,” Seyi Law concluded.
