"Somebody lied to you. Somebody told you to come here and audition. You should go back and tell them that they aren't your friend because that was not a good audition. You have a sweet-talking voice and it comes out in your singing voice but your performance is terrible," she wrote.

"You are never going to make money being a singer. I love you, you are so sweet but you are not a singer. You are not a singer. For songwriting, hit me up, we could talk but that singing, it is not going to work. Sorry, Darling."

The music star's comments didn't sit well with a lot of Nigerians as she was dragged on Twitter for being aggressive towards the teenager.
