J. Martins On Wizkid & "Broke Fan" Comment : Don't Diss The Fans!

J. Martins who was in Abuja days ago, gave his opinion on the altercation between singer, Wizkid and a follower of his on Instagram. The fan noticed some faulty grammar in a post by the star musician and told him that he needed to "go back to school". 

Wizkid hit back at the rude poster, by saying - "broke people always have an opinion"

The Instagram altercation

Super producer/neo-highlife musician, J. Martins addressed Wizkid's comments in an interview on Hot FM 98.3 and had this to say -

"J Martins on the show said ‘I’m not taking any side, don’t mean no beef, no disrespect, and no hate but let the truth be told. I don’t believe because you feel you have a few change you didn’t have a few years ago and which you cannot guarantee having in a few years to come then you wake up and look at those people who have cheered you up, loved you, supported your music, bought your CD’s, prayed for you, just because you can lay your hands on some phone and you call them ‘poor’. Am not in and will never be in support of anyone who has such bad attitude.
“It needs to be corrected, we owe our fans the duty of being good examples that’s why they hold us in high esteem, that’s why you are a role model and if you know you cannot be a good role model you have no business in Music. You don’t know if it’s that person that might help you tomorrow, whoever does that should be checked.

You have to decide why you are in the music industry. If you know you cannot be a role model then you have no business being there”

While J. Martins may have a point about respecting the fans and not being arrogant, we cant ignore the fact that the fan in question here could have been more polite in giving advice and correcting grammar. If I made a mistake and somebody corrected me like that I would likely give him a piece of my mind.
