Social media personality and reality TV star, Chizzy Francis, has found himself in the middle of controversy following a tweet where he harshly criticized a lady named Zita while referencing an altercation involving popular figure, Rooboy. The tweet, which has since gone viral, has drawn both support and condemnation across various platforms.
In his now-edited post, Chizzy wrote, *“That Zita of a girl is mannerless… Rooboy no try for that slap, na both elbow and bicycle kick him for give am,”* sparking intense reactions over the perceived promotion of violence. Many social media users expressed concern over his choice of words, calling it reckless and insensitive.
The context of the tweet appears to stem from a trending video showing a heated exchange between Zita and Rooboy, with unclear details about what led to the incident. Chizzy’s remarks seem to suggest that Rooboy was justified in retaliating, a sentiment many believe sets a dangerous precedent.
[27/09, 03:06] ChatGPT: While some of Chizzy’s followers applauded him for “saying the truth,” others demanded an apology for what they see as public encouragement of physical violence. “It’s one thing to criticize someone’s behavior, but advocating assault crosses a line,” one user commented.
Zita, who has yet to publicly address the tweet, has become a topic of discussion herself. Supporters of hers have defended her, claiming she has been unfairly targeted and bullied online without the full story being known.
Meanwhile, Rooboy has also remained silent on the matter, with fans waiting to hear his side of the unfolding drama. Many are calling for a more responsible discourse, especially from public figures with large followings.
Critics are also calling out Twitter (X) for not flagging the tweet despite its violent undertones. Some advocacy groups have begun tagging the platform's safety team, urging moderation.
Chizzy, known for his blunt and often controversial takes, has yet to delete the tweet or issue any clarification. His management has also declined to comment as of press time.
This situation adds to the growing concerns around influencer accountability and the consequences of unfiltered commentary on public platforms.
As the backlash grows, netizens are debating freedom of expression versus the responsibility that comes with a verified voice, especially in today’s hyper-reactive digital landscape.
