- British-Nigerian rapper Skepta has criticized those who dictate how to pose in pictures.
- He has expressed his desire for fans to cease imposing more smiles on him when he shares new photos.

British-Nigerian rapper Skepta has responded sharply to social media users who frequently urge him to smile in his photos.
The controversy began when a fan on X (formerly Twitter) commented on one of Skepta’s recent pictures, writing, “Sha dey try smile small.” Skepta was quick to fire back, questioning the logic behind such unsolicited advice.
“Am I a children’s TV show presenter? What’s with you men keep telling me to smile in my pics? Blocked kmt,” he wrote.
Another user tried to lighten the mood by saying, “Don’t mind them. We love the mystery behind it ✨.” However, Skepta responded that there’s no mystery at all he simply poses naturally.
“Ain’t no mystery, I’m just looking at the camera so the photographer can take his picture. Unless somebody made a joke on set… what am I smiling for?” he added.
Skepta’s candid response has sparked conversations online about personal expression and the pressure celebrities face to meet public expectations even in something as simple as a photo.
In other news, Singer Cynthia Morgan has responded sharply to Peter Okoye of P-Square after he referenced her during a heated online exchange involving his brothers, Jude and Paul Okoye.
Peter recently took to social media to vent frustrations, accusing his siblings and their publicist of trying to damage his reputation over a legal conflict.
In his defense, he stated, “I am not May D or Cynthia Morgan,” suggesting that unlike those artists, he would not tolerate being undermined or disrespected.
Cynthia Morgan, however, was displeased by the mention. She used her Instagram story to voice her dissatisfaction, criticizing Peter for dragging her name into a private family dispute. She also highlighted her feelings of abandonment during her own troubled split from Jude Okoye, who formerly managed her under Northside Entertainment.
In her post, she wrote:
“I have a mixed feeling about my name popping up like this. I am not a weak person. Certain family members made it look so… you @peterpsquare included… until you found out what they were doing to you too. Na me listen to una sha.”
