My grouse against Annie Idibia, Tiwa Savage –Emmy Collins

When London-trained Nigerian designer, Emmy
Collins, began his now popular blog, Diary by Emmy,
in May this year, he intended to use it to vent his
frustration over the state of Nigeria's creative and
fashion industry.
However, in less than a month of his running it, the
blog caused a stir in the entertainment scene after
he dared to criticise the general appearance and
quality of works of the likes of Nollwyood actress,
Annie Idibia and singer Tiwa Savage. On social media
sites like Facebook and Twitter, the blogger is
constantly a trending topic as he is often attacked for
daring to criticise many celebrities on his blog.
He titled the posts dedicated to both personalities as
the 'Compilation of Annie Idibia Macaulay's many
fashion atrocities' and the 'Story of Nigeria' and the
'Karaoke Singer named, Tiwa Savage', respectively.
More recently, he also took a swipe at the fashion
sense of the Kokomaster, Dbanj, and popular
blogger, Linda Ikeji, in a post titled 'Most effective
ways to insult your readers by Linda Ikeji.'
Months after, the light-skinned blogger and fashion
designer continued to critique a number of top
Nigerian stars as well as those he chooses to refer to
as 'red carpet whores.'
Love or hate him, Collins says he does not care and
so no one is spared on his blog..
He says, "Everyone is obsessed with the ambition of
becoming a celebrity without possessing any
'celebrity quality'. In as much as we might want to
sweep this under the carpet, the facts are there for
all to see."
While Tiwa Savage, Ikeji and D'Banj have not
bothered to respond to Collins' jabs, Annie, who
responded in June, only wrote him off as an attention
seeker.
The wife of pop star 2face Idibia wrote, "May God
bless and make your blog famous one day. Guess
that is what you are trying to achieve. I feel your
pain."
