Seyi Law Faces Backlash: ‘Most Successful Miscreant’ Tweet Sparks Tax Bill Debate

Comedian Seyi Law Under Fire: Social Media Reacts to His Controversial Tax Tweet

Seyi Law has come under fire for a tweet he posted that critics have found insensitive. In his tweet, the comedian compared Lagos state governorship candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV) to a “returned slave” and expressed that his children should not emulate GRV’s qualities.

This comment sparked backlash, with some accusing him of trying to score cheap social points by using slavery in his argument.

One critic even mocked Seyi Law by comparing him to the late comedian Baba Suwe, claiming he was “mentally twisted” and an “unfinished” version of the comic legend.

The exchange highlighted the sensitive nature of using historical terms like “slave” in modern political discourse, especially when it touches on identity and heritage.

Seyi Law has defended his opinion, his critics have not been kind, and the backlash has prompted him to apologize publicly for the statement.
