“Dear Brymo, I respect you. Don't throw that respect down the drain. I know you have the right to an opinion. However, this isn't an opinion, this is 'H8' speech and will cost you your fans and followers. I would recommend an apology to the igbos.”

"Daddy Freeze that tweet from Brymo is a response to a particular tweet made by one Estee Udokang but the tweet has been deleted by Estee Udokang. So I suspect that the tweet contains insensitive statements for Brymo to have given that type of response as a form of counter."
therealfemi:
"He already said "Dear easterners im not sorry " That was it for me."
ebusbel:
"Action and reaction are equal and opposite…. Election will come and go….!!! But for he’s utterances, we’ll hold him accountable."

"Abegi! We’re all tribalistic in Nigeria. Even Igbos have said worst about Yorubas & Hausas…..Old news. Nothing new here. I don’t see why an apology is needed.♀️ We yab each other all the time. Put a Tinubu post up and come and read abuses because person father wants to run for president. All tribes in Nigeria have taken it too far. Brymo, if you don’t apologize it ain’t taking nothing out of my life. Real knows Real."
