Tonto Dikeh has recently made news for both for the positive and negative reasons. Some weeks ago, she hosted two of her twitter fans in a 5-star hotel in Lagos. Just over the weekend, Tonto was reported to have abused Genevieve Nnaji, which she has denied. In a reaction to an interview allegedly credited to her about Igbo guys, a twitter fan tweeted at her, "you must be stup*d to say Igbo men are 'poko' nosy, 'na' who born you? 'Nobi' Igbo man born you? 'Abi' your mama go get 'belle' from another tribe? In a quick response to this tweet, Tonto tweeted back, "Useless is your father. Your mother I'll spare because the bit*h is a bit*h like me. No, you a bastard. The question is, why would a celebrity always react to tweets directed at them? Is this the best way to be a role model?
