Remember that Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad that had all of Black Twitter (all of America, really) up in arms because it made a mockery of the Black Lives Matter movement and the suffering of blacks at the hands of policemen in general?
[In case you forgotten]: “This is how Twitter dragged Kendall Jaja for offensive Pepsi ad”
It’s a controversy the Kardashian child has been unable to live down. In fact, she recently starred in another ad for Adidas and fans of the sports wear brand said they won’t be patronising Adidas anymore.
[In case you’ve missed it]: “Fans won’t purchase Adidas because Kendal Jenner…”
The backlash has been so brutal, Kendall Jenner reportedly cried on the family’s TV show two days ago for offending everyone with the ad.
You’d think it would serve as a lesson for everyone one else who wants to do ads, but no.
Over on this side of the Atlantic, controversial Twitter figure, Jasper Jaja Chinedu got into hot water again for what many have interpreted as a mistreatment of a beggar. Jaja says the story was a springboard for his ads, but Twitter’s not buying it.
See below:
Someone walks into where I’m having my lunch, sits beside me, and to my utter amazement, asks me to pay for his lunch.
FUNKEEEEEEEE!

Reactions fall between how could you do that, stupid 🤦 to claims that the story is totally made up (Jaja has not confirmed this, though). Trust Twitter Nigeria not to forget that they once gave Jaja a helping hand.
It’s a total bloodbath:
Once upon a beggar
Your thread irritates me
You could have just helped the guy
Just a plate of food? U even came here to tell us— Mel B

So he begged you for food? You ignored him, claimed he harassed you but he didn't and you still came here to shame him for RTs. Disgusted https://t.co/QFixUpJSxO

Your MCM was filled with disgust that a drunkard begged him for money. He was broke a while ago and twitter paid his school fees

You are desperately wrong
That was some stupid idea to advert your kinda work just admit it oga https://t.co/4jeUwflp0d
— Wild Child (@Aeyshar) October 5, 2017
jaja, using the donation against you is wrong, but doing the thread is wrong too and seems you don't want to admit it is..
— Shobola seun danbaba (@Oxyshe07) October 5, 2017
The thread was to attract people to the last two tweets which were adverts. I thought that was pretty obvious.
— Uncle Jaj. (@JajaPhD) October 5, 2017
that's my point, infact I knew of his intention with d last tweet, buh reading the early tweets takes away the beauty of the advert

Jaja claps back in style
My tuition fees were unpaid because the Rivers State Govt failed me. The debt I have found myself in is not of my making.
— Uncle Jaj. (@JajaPhD) October 5, 2017
TwitterNG opens fire
The idiot now assumed the guy wanted to go booze. Kai! May we not forget our humble beginnings and become what we once despised.
— Papa Bule (@bule_jr) October 5, 2017
If you were afraid he was gonna buy booze or anything, order him food and pay without handing him cash. Spare me the bullshit.
— Papa Bule (@bule_jr) October 5, 2017
Do you know how long it took that man to come ask you for money? Not to play o but to EAT? https://t.co/4ySk86b7uN
— Papa Bule (@bule_jr) October 5, 2017
Dunno about you i love doing good for people that CANNOT repay me. I cant explain it, it feels so so good. That smile, those prayers..
— Papa Bule (@bule_jr) October 5, 2017
I almost hate myself when i can not help. I can not imagine coming online to brag about embarrassing a less privileged person. Gosh!
— Papa Bule (@bule_jr) October 5, 2017
I am livid. We are quite a useless and heartless bunch of people.
— Papa Bule (@bule_jr) October 5, 2017
Did you consider that same Rivers State Government might have failed that man who begged you for food? https://t.co/MXtR0SXznF
— 'Deji Asiru-Balogun (@WilDeji) October 5, 2017
And so was the man u saw at the restaurant. He couldn't have gone about asking for food had he had enough to buy himself a meal
— SexyTopNaija@ (@blue_vin92) October 5, 2017
Just like u, the Begga was a victim of a failed Govt. And I must tell u that u have better chances at life than he does, so y ridicule him?

Take your angry, flaming Ls
Can organise refund but not school fees. Upside down wealth. Elite from the back.

Lool it's not even about him begging for fees but the fact he actually made a thread about not helping someone begging for food… Food o..

Remember…
A beggar today can be a philanthropist tomorrow…

And finally,
Sorry we are reacting correctly to such a sensitive topic as we are humans and quick to sympathize with people in need. I’ve seen better ads
— Rendevouz (@steadybanks) October 5, 2017
And that’s the sum of it.
