The Outrageous Popular Nigerian comedian, Gordons recently attacked Tuface Idibia
over the planned protest he backed out from. The comedian says that Tuface got it wrong
when he tried to protest by marching.
While speaking in an interview with HipTv, he said:
“2face
is my mentor when it comes to music. He is one musician I adore,
legendary to me. But you cannot use a tool that you are not used to
“When Fela was fighting
government, he used a tool that he was used to, that was music. Then
Osayomore Joseph in Benin city, fought government and used a tool he was
used to. Sunny Okosuns before he died was fighting for freedom with the
tool that he was used to.
“How on earth would 2face be
fighting a fight that he is not used to. 2face is not a politician, he
is a musician. If he wants to lead a protest, he should lead with music.
“How are you going to express yourself 2face when microphone is right
in your face and you are asked to express your grievance and the reason
why you are protesting? You can’t express yourself, it’s not your game.
Do it with music you are used to. 2face is the only illiterate who can
sing correctly.”
However, Gordons has apologised.
The comedian had on Tuesday asked Tuface how he would express himself when leading a protest.
He told the musician to concentrate on his music rather than getting involved in activism.
“How are you going to express yourself TuFace when
microphone is right in your face and you are asked to express your
grievance and the reason why you are protesting? You can’t express
yourself, it’s not your game. Do it with music you are used to. TuFace
is the only illiterate who can sing correctly,” Gordons said.
However, on the same day, in a less than one minute video
he posted online, Gordons said he was only doing his job, comedy, and he
didn’t mean to insult Tuface in any way.
The comedian revealed that he has sent a text message containing his apology to the musician and his family.
