Avril Leads An Online Onslaught Against The Daily Nation. Was This Justified?

Singer Avril is not one to seek fights, but there is something that has irked the usually calm songbird.

So, a Daily Nation writer said that Sauti Sol did not impress in South Africa and Avril posted this criticizing the article:

*Sigh* Why would someone write this? Any who. Will say again. I’m proud of @SautiSol and what they are achieving. The journey has just began

This post has been met with various reactions one of tem from musicians like H_art The Band and Nameless who wrote this:

h_arttheband “when they don’t know what you go through this is the result…”@sautisol ,they may not appreciate your effort at the time but we do appreciate sana .we know what the nominations have done to put Kenya’s industry on the map and keep doing what you do we are behind you.Gear no. 5 #ArtistUnited

namelesskenya: No matter what some unprogressive and unpatriotic Kenyan reporter may say, @Sautisol we are proud of you for representing us on the continental platform. You continue to impress us, You Are Kenya!

All in all thes guys are going places @sautisol everybody has their time and when urs is ripe they’ll be fighting to feature u in their articles. Keep doing a good job Kenya is proud of u. 33min

kenyanallstar Such people are nonsense, I’m proud that our boyz are making big moves & big steps & I swear to you @theavieway hardworking pays alot if the world noticed the good music & nominated them, that’s an appreciation too, late the haters watch this space, time is coming @sautisol keep it up 32

virginiaspur “Fail to impress”…..the statement is just not imaginable. So wrong!!!! We should be happy, proud and be supporting them instead of publishing such nonsense.@theavieway @sautisol

sarah.mwaura What?!.. am perplexed,, who would write such a thing?!. Which nominations has the writer won?! @sautisol am proud of you

In my opinion, the writer was giving his point of view in regards to the whole situation; it may not sit well with some people but its his/her opinion.

And as much as we all need support, criticism is also an important part of growth. Plus i am sure the Nation has also written positive stories about the band in the past.

What do you guys think, was the criticism justified?
