How I became King of clap back – Frank Edoho

<p>Popular media personality Frank Edoho has revealed why he claps back at internet trolls.</p>, <p>The 51-year-old said he decided to reply to trolls after he was trolled over speculations that he was sacked as host of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” TV quiz show.</p>, <p>He said he clapped back at the trolls because the news of his sack was fake.</p>, <p>He stated this in the latest episode of the Teju Babyface Deep Dive Podcast, hosted by comedian Olateju Oyelakin, aka Teju Babyface.</p>, <p>According to Edoho: “I became the ‘king of clap back’ when they said I was dropped from ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ and then people started insulting me. People just came at me, you know.</p>, <p>“I never looked at it from the viewpoint that I can’t be insulted. But when you insult me for something that didn’t happen, or you’re just playing childish, or you just want to be corrosive, then I say that these people trolls deserve to be answered. Why? Number one, because everybody answers them. And if you give a fool leverage, the fool will grow to become the president of this country one day.</p>, <p>“You know why? Because everybody says, ‘No, don’t involve yourself with trolls.’ Some actually sent me a message and said, ‘This your replies to trolls would disrupt your brand.’ I said, What brand? If I have a brand, I didn’t put it out there knowingly. I’m just a guy who loves broadcasting. I do ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ And before I got that job, I didn’t promise you that I would be on my best behaviour.</p>, <p>“The problem with these people trolls is that when they see people on TV, they see you as an actor or a proficient entertainer from any facet at all; they think that because you are there and people are looking up to you, they expect you to be perfect.”</p>
