Joey Akan, a music critic and journalist, has a well-deserved reputation for spilling the beans about music and attracting as many haters as fans – haters who disagree with his musical opinions and fans who adore his insights.
A music fan who disagrees with Joey’s viewpoints recently tweeted:
@joeyakan d!es
Me: I’ll be there to spit on his grave no matter what.
The music critic voiced his opinion about Seun Kuti and Janelle Monae’s impending single collaboration, and since yesterday following the tweet, he has been criticized by internet people for his views.
What a way to shut up the people who mock you, deride your hard work, and maliciously deny your blast radius by branding you "local."
With this record, Seun Kuti won this round, I'm afraid. 😂😂😂 https://t.co/SCcBIzMMlh

In response to the tweet, a Twitter user wrote:
Only that your thoughts weren't on music though, Joey. You willfully chose to misconstrue an Artiste's tribute. And your views on the said artiste has been consistently sour, except when it's 'Music' you're talking. Again, your views weren't about music.
