Nollywood star Nkechi Blessing Sunday has weighed in on the ongoing social media spats among Nigerian celebrities, suggesting that those involved are simply seeking attention.

In a recent statement, she emphasized that online clashes between stars are primarily driven by a desire for clout.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, Nkechi Blessing said, “My thoughts on celebrities bashing each other on the Internet, I feel it’s some form of publicity stunt.

“By the time they come out on social media to exchange words, is either they have a new single coming up or they’re about to drop a song. So most times when I see celebrities fighting online, I just walk away because most times we sit down and plan these things.

“Sometimes, it’s not actually bad blood. As I said they might want to release a single so they will need all the clout and engagements to get their songs out there in your faces. So that’s it literally.”

This commentary comes amidst a trend of high-profile disputes within the Nigerian entertainment industry, with celebrities engaging in public altercations and rallying their fan bases to join the fray.
