Big Brother Naija participant, Terseer Kiddwaya better known as Kiddwaya, says he wasn’t disturbed when Erica’s fans attacked him online after it became public that their relationship had ended.
Kiddwaya disclosed this during a Live interview session with The PUNCH saying that people criticised him over the break-up with Erica but he was focused on building his brand.
He said: “I was focused on building my brand. I posted a message I got from one of her fans to let people know that people are pained about something. I put a caption, ‘is it what it has come to now?’
“They need someone to focus their pain on and I understand that I can be their scapegoat. I am the person that they look at and say, ‘Why is Kidd doing so well?’ ‘Why is Kidd so happy?’ ’I don’t like the fact that he is happy’; so, of course, they direct their pain at me. The same way they direct their pain at David or other celebrities.
“I understand it comes with the package of being in the industry. As a matter of fact, it is not only celebrities that get attacked, it is anyone that is successful or people that are genuinely happy with their lives that get bashed by people that are not happy with their lives.”
According to him, online bashing did not affect him then because he was concentrating on his brand and his fan base across the globe.
He said: “I promised them that I will take the brand global. I don’t have time to be listening to trolls or letting them get to me. It is not something that is a necessity in my life; it did not take food away from my stomach, it did not take air away from my lungs, it did not take happiness away from my soul. It doesn’t get to me.”
When asked the reason behind the break-up, Kiddwaya simply said, “Honestly, in this interview, I am definitely not providing anything that has to do with my relationship because right now, I don’t want the item to be about that.
“I have achieved so much from the Big Brother house up till this point that I actually want to focus on the milestone that I have hit. I don’t want to create a situation where everyone is talking about my relationship. It will take away from this amazing interview that we are having. When it comes to relationships, I will not answer it respectfully.”
