Deji Adeyanju, a Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist, has hit back at show promoter PaulO after being called a “social media lawyer.” The heated exchange came after Adeyanju accused Burna Boy of being behind the re-arrest and harassment of his client, the singer Speed Darlington.
PaulO took offense at the accusations, advising Adeyanju to show respect for Burna Boy and to manage his client better. However, Adeyanju was quick to respond, taking to the X platform (formerly Twitter) to make it clear that he would not be engaging with people he referred to as “nonentities.”
This online back-and-forth highlights the ongoing tension between the individuals involved, with Adeyanju standing firm on his stance and refusing to respond to those he feels are not worth his time.
