In other news, the battle for who has better content (and probably more shoes) has been drawn between content creators!! And we're here for the drama!!!
Dear CheckMates, please gather round! A hot gbas gbos just landed, and if you miss this one, you might as well hand over your internet data. Because of the way these two men are dragging each other, even Wizkid vs. Davido's beef doesn't reach. Actually, that’s too much exaggeration. There’s actually no beef that supersedes that of Davido and Wizkid. Those guys are unmatched. Although I bet you’ll love this match!
So, what happened?
Comedian Klinton Cod has entered the chat, and guess who he’s dragging? None other than Egungun of Lagos - the viral content creator who has been serving us “That’s Massive” vibes on Instagram. But this time Klinton didn’t find anything massive about Egungun’s content.
Baba Klint woke up, stretched, looked around, and decided that Egungun of Lagos is Nigeria’s latest problem. Forget inflation, MTN tariff hikes, podcasts, and the national grid - Egungun’s content is what’s truly ruining the country.
According to Klinton, Egungun’s content should not even be breathing the same air as Instagram - it belongs to OnlyFans. Yes, you heard that right!
In his words:
“Egungun listen to me, your content is not supposed to be for Instagram, it’s supposed to be for Only Fans, I think you should go and create an account there because if we have to go after the blogs, we might as well go after the people complementing the blogs and you are part of the problem we have on Nigerian social media, you are part of the people promoting rubbish. You have 1.9 million perverts following your page. You contaminate the minds of young boys, you reduce the way women are meant to be seen, you diminish the act of being a woman, that’s what you do. Because what do you do as a content creator?”
Klinton didn’t hold back! He just passionately called out Egungun’s 1.9 million followers and basically said, “Congratulations, y’all are perverts!”
Are you following Egungun? Ah! That means it’s you Klinton is congratulating like this, oh!
But then, imagine someone telling you that your whole career belongs on the forbidden side of the internet. That’s not even an insult - it’s a career relocation notice! That’s massive, baby!!
Anyways, Klinton wasn't done. He went further to drag Nigerian celebrities who celebrate Egungun and even spray him money like he’s a wedding DJ. (Now, I won’t mention names, but you people know yourselves).
According to him:
“So many people are celebrating you, celebrities are celebrating you, they are even dashing you money. You are buying expensive cars, houses, for what? God will expose you guys one day walahi! You guys have scattered our social media with the rubbish type of content. Look at young women now, they will see the kind of women that you celebrate. An average beautiful woman doesn’t think she’s pretty anymore because they feels ‘my body is not the type of body that Egungun celebrates, so they have to take their life’s savings to Turkey to go and enhance their look.”
Oga Klint just decided to set a ring light and call out Egungun for boosting the BBL and the plastic industry.
As in, we're out here doing the Hallelujah Challenge, praying for shame to come back to this generation, and Egungun is the weapon fashioned against our prayers?
Ladies, if you ever looked into the mirror and considered booking a flight to Turkey, Klinton is asking you to hold Egungun as the culprit. Although ZicSaloma, aka Igando Michael Jackson, might beg to differ, because last we checked, he’s now the brand ambassador for all things BBL in Turkey.
But wait - it gets better!
Now, at first, Egungun ignored Klinton like a madman ignoring the flies following him. But when Klinton dragged his wife into the gist, Omo, Egungun switched from “That’s massive” to “That’s war!”
He was like, “Klinton, be careful, na express you dey go!”
Egungun went straight to his Instagram story to fire back:
“You called me out first time; I no talk, now you dey call my wife name. Oga e dey pain your mama say na sporty bet ambassador you be. If e easy, why did your mama japa go UK? 12 years, your mama still dey 600k followers, you just wake up dey call me out for what? Nigeria’s problems are many, na me you take dey do topic, Ehh Sporty Bet ambassador.”
Wait, what? How did we go from content criticism to follower count comparisons? Also, was calling out his mother really necessary?
But wait, did Egungun just tell Klinton that his mother is ashamed of his career? I - I need water.
Drinks water.
If we’re keeping it 100% real, though. Klinton’s call-out was deep, but Egungun’s response? Ehn.. let’s just say it’s giving too many shoes! Because what message was he trying to pass with shoes serving as interior designs in every picture he shared in that story upload? If you’re now into thrift shoes, Egungun, you can open up to us. We won’t judge you. We’ll patronise you! I mean, won’t it be lovely if you were to interview Dem Ladies and you asked them what they’re wearing and they’re like, “Oh, that’s Massive Shoes! I got them from Egungun’s Massive Shoes Warehouse, and it cost me a fortune!” LOL! Sorry for the laugh.
But seriously though, Egungun had the perfect opportunity to defend himself, explain his content, or even roast Klinton back properly. Instead, he went for “your mama no get followers” with shoes in the background?!
POV: You entered a debate competition, and instead of giving logical points, you started discussing follower counts.
Now, let’s be honest - is Klinton making any sense, or is this just another case of him playing “moral content police,” trying to dictate what people should enjoy?
Who really has the moral high ground here? Klinton says Egungun’s content is “rubbish,” but Egungun is making millions from it. On the other hand, Egungun is saying, “Face your own hustle” (which has its own moral concerns too, by the way, seeing it is betting content Klinton is into), but does that mean we should just ignore the type of content flooding our social media space?
Yes, Egungun’s content might be “for the streets,” but if millions of people enjoy it, does that mean they’re all perverts?
And on the other hand, does making money from “massive” content automatically mean you’re ruining society? Because if that’s the case, some people should have been banned from the internet since 2015!
Either way, one thing is clear - this drama can’t be over! Egungun is going to have to attempt a better comeback. Or maybe Klinton should reply again. Or should we let them move on and let social media find a new gist to argue over?
Anyways, before Egungun drops another clapback or Klinton calls for a social media cleansing crusade, let me ask you: who are you supporting in this battle of the content creators? Team Klinton, the Defender Of Morals? Or Team Egungun, the King of Vibes?
So, I'll see you in Other News.
