Seyi Shay while reacting to a singer’s performance on Sunday, described it as terrible.

She said: ”You are never going to make money being a singer.

“Who told you to come for the audition? Whoever it is, you should go back and tell them they are not your friends. That was not a good one. You have a sweet, token voice but your performance is terrible.”

Responding to the backlash, Seyi Shay on her Twitter page wrote: “ I’m feeling like JudgeJudy right now. You either LOVE her OR you HATE her, and that is quite ALRIGHT!

“Either way, Thanks for the #1 trend tweeps .”
