Leo Da Silva, a popular reality TV star, has criticized Nigerians who are quick to insult people from wealthy backgrounds or who have supportive parents. In a tweet he shared on Wednesday, March 29, Leo reminded Nigerians that no one stopped their own parents from being wealthy or supportive, and that insulting others for having such parents is not a sign of superiority or strength. Leo's tweet was accompanied by an image of himself looking thoughtful and contemplative.

"Insulting people because their parents are rich and support them is not the flex you think it is. No one stopped your own parents from being rich or supporting you. Instead they are fighting your uncles and aunts over family land,"

Some people have even shared personal stories about their own experiences growing up with supportive parents or coming from wealthy backgrounds, and how they have been unfairly judged or criticized because of it. Others have criticized Leo for not acknowledging the role that systemic inequality and social privilege can play in determining one's life outcomes, regardless of individual effort or family support.
