Media personality, Frank Edoho, has revealed how he became the king of clap backs on social media.
In an interview with Teju Babyface, the host of ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ said the journey of clao backs had started when trolls shamed him for getting sacked by the organisers of the show.
He said the sack was a fake one yet online trolls came for him and he had to counter attack.
I became the ‘king of clap back’ when they said I was dropped from ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ and then people started insulting me. People just came at me, you know.
“I never looked at it from the viewpoint that I can’t be insulted. But when you insult me for something that didn’t happen, or you’re just playing childish, or you just want to be corrosive, then I say that these people deserve to be answered. Why?
“Number one, because everybody answers them. And if you give a fool leverage, the fool will grow to become the president of this country one day.
“You know why? Because everybody says, ‘No, don’t involve.’ Some actually sent me a message and said, ‘This your replies to trolls would disrupt your brand.’ I said, What brand? If I have a brand, I didn’t put it out there knowingly.
“I’m just a guy who loves broadcasting. I do ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ And before I got that job, I didn’t promise you that I would be on my best behaviour.
“The problem with these people [trolls] is that when they see people on TV, they see you as an actor or a proficient entertainer from any facet at all; they think that because you are there and people are looking up to you, they expect you to be perfect.”
