Comedian and filmmaker Basketmouth has criticised what he described as the growing culture of rewarding controversy while ignoring excellence in society.
The entertainer, in a recent post shared on his Instagram page, accused some Nigerian blogs and media platforms of prioritising scandals and embarrassing moments over genuine achievements and hard work.
According to him, people who build businesses, create jobs, break barriers, or positively impact lives rarely receive the same attention given to controversies online.
