Encomium
Fans of talented singer, Omawumi Megbele have flooded the social media to lend their support to the artiste for standing her ground and gracefully walking out of an offensive interview.
The interview which was conducted by Zinnia of little known HFtv Africa was going on pretty well until the interviewer implied that Omawumi, a mother of two was an alcoholic and smoker. Omawumi expressed her disappointment with the question before storming out of the interview.
Read fans words of encouragement here…
I was very happy to see Omawumi do the peace sign, then drop her index finger to such expectations. She did the absolute right thing.

I heard the interviewer started off asking Omawumi if her husband is truly the father of her child. What an idiot.

Coupled with the malicious blog headlines that would follow.. Omawumi did the right thing walking away. The girl clearly had bad intentions

Omawumi explained why she thought the question inappropriate, ended the interview and left, without raising her voice. She wasn’t rude

If you want to live a happy life as an artist or celebrity, follow the Omawumi example and live happily ever after. She was spot on!

I was actually livid after watching that Omawumi interview, I would have done the exact same thing. How dare you?! Smh

I think people saying Omawumi should have just answered the question and moved on don’t really understand the damaging effects of bad press.

Dear @Omawumi, you are my row modem. ????

If Omawumi were a male artist, would she be asked to respond to drinking and smoking rumors as a role model?
— Amara Nwankpa (@bubusn) May 5, 2016
Walai @Omawumi was mighty nice with her response to this disrespectful, unprofessional cad. I’d clap back so hard you’ll change profession.

But even if Omawumi drinks and smokes what kind of question is “How do you keep your drinking and smoking away from your kids”

If you want to be a journalist, get some basic training. Don’t display your lack of ethics & them blame the subject. Omawumi well done
— Toyan Adeniji-Adele (@adetoyan) May 5, 2016
I bet the interviewer was warming up to ask Omawumi… “Is it true you cook for teebillz. Are you edible catering”

Good going, Omawumi! The appropriate question would have been how Omawumi balances stardom w/ motherhood. Do journos aim to shame & judge?
— Lola Shoneyin (@lolashoneyin) May 4, 2016
Omawumi is a grown woman who makes grown music for grown people. We don’t expect her to be perfect.

— Demola Notjustok (@demola) May 4, 2016
Omawumi MIGHT be a smoker but she’s never been seen in public smoking. So what else? Can she not have a private life? TF?!

I think omawumi over reacted. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that question. If anything omawumi was defensive from the start

Omawumi – Do You Mean Me Well ?Coming through ….????????
— Engr Dan (@exxonose) May 5, 2016
You’re asking if Omawumi smokes and drinks.. Like it’s a bad thing.
Why is that even a question?
— FieryGodmother (@fiery_godmother) May 5, 2016
There was nothing wrong if Omawumi had told the interviewer “I don’t want to respond to that question, next pls” instead of that her drama!
