“And I'm laughing at the fact that I can't just believe what I just heard. Like who told you, just wait. Somebody lied to you, somebody told you to come here and audition. And that person should go back and tell them that they are not 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 terrible. You are never going to make money being a singer.”, she added.

What the freaking hell, what does Seyi Shay feel like sef, this is a 17 year old boy with a good voice that just needs training and she straight up told him he was horrible and the singing thing would never work, this is supposed to be a platform to help talents. I'm so disgusted pic.twitter.com/91Pqs57mZC

Just watched the Seyi Shay video and I was almost in tears. The guy even said "I was nervous". It took alot for him to get up there and she treated him like that. I feel so bad.
