Reality TV star Kiddwaya has come to the defense of fellow BBNaija alum and former love interest, Erica Nlewedim, following criticism she received over her inability to speak the Igbo language fluently.

A video of Erica struggling to speak Igbo had gone viral, prompting backlash from some social media users who questioned her cultural identity. In response, Kiddwaya took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to shut down the criticism.

“If you’re not making more money than Erica, then the joke is on you,” he wrote, implying that her success speaks louder than her fluency in any language.

Erica also responded, addressing those mocking her:

“Continue ignoring your real-life problems while attacking a woman over her inability to speak her native language,” she wrote, calling out the misplaced priorities of her critics.
