  • Reality TV star Kiddwaya has come under fire for hyping Detty December despite insecurity in Benue.

Reality TV star and billionaire heir Kiddwaya has sparked heated reactions online after commenting excitedly about the upcoming Detty December celebrations despite ongoing insecurity in his home state of Benue.

Many Nigerians criticised him for being “insensitive”, arguing that celebrating festivities while residents face attacks and displacement was inappropriate.

In response, Kiddwaya blasted his critics, insisting he had nothing to apologise for and accusing Nigerians of focusing more on dragging celebrities online than holding politicians accountable for insecurity.

You keyboard idiots will be worshipping politicians… Why don’t you grow some balls and start holding them accountable… The only thing most of you can do is insult people like me and make stupid jokes. The joke is on you.”
