A recent Twitter exchange between popular Nigerian skitmaker Taomaa and a user identified as ‘Paul by name’ has stirred up a wave of conversations on social media. The heated back-and-forth began when Paul posted a tweet, making a bold claim that those in the entertainment industry, particularly skitmakers, rely on their followers to “feed” them without giving back.
“So na you go dey feed them. Una go just dey open mouth 😮,” Paul wrote on his Twitter handle, seemingly criticizing influencers and content creators who he believes make money from their followers’ attention without contributing to their well-being.
The tweet quickly went viral, with many users chiming in to share their own thoughts on the matter. Some expressed agreement with Paul’s sentiments, while others defended the work of creators in the digital space.
However, Taomaa, known for her comedic skits, did not let the comment slide quietly. In a sharp retort, she replied, “So how many unlawful things have you done when you are broke? Oponu,” challenging Paul’s implied critique of her and others in the industry. The response immediately caught the attention of Twitter users, with many applauding Taomaa for her boldness in addressing the comment.
The exchange has sparked a larger conversation about the nature of content creation, the expectations placed on public figures, and the pressures of social media. Many fans of Taomaa were quick to support her, calling out Paul’s tone and suggesting that he was being unnecessarily harsh toward hardworking creators.
While the online spat remains ongoing, it has raised important questions about the value of digital content, the assumptions made by social media users, and the challenges faced by influencers in a highly scrutinized space.
As of now, neither Taomaa nor Paul has further commented on the situation. However, it’s clear that their words have ignited a lively debate, with Twitter users continuing to express differing opinions on the issue.
