The feud between Roger Otis and Abba Marcus continues to heat up. After Abba Marcus advised Roger to “mind his business, raise some kids, or advance his career from a love surgeon to something important,” Roger Otis has clapped back.
In an interview on Galaxy TV’s Jikonkone Rewind show, Roger Otis shared his perspective, arguing that anything posted on social media becomes public domain. According to Roger, those who want to keep their affairs private should avoid sharing them on social platforms.
“Everything that is on social media is everyone’s business. If you feel the need to keep people out of your business, there is no need to post certain things on social media. If you do not want us talking about your father, mother, or anything else, then it is only right that you do not post about them. Once you post about something, you have given the public full rights to react or comment on it, and that is exactly what I did,” Roger explained.
Roger further clarified that he had no issue with Abba Marcus seeking help for his father. However, he criticized the choice of words Abba used and the nature of the personal family information he shared.
“It is not even about him calling out his father or criticizing his family. In fact, I heard that his father received help because of his outcry and is now in America receiving treatment, which means the outcry was not the problem. The only issue was his word choice. There are things he did not need to say about his family publicly, and that’s what my open letter was addressing not the act of asking for help,” Roger emphasized.
In response to netizens criticizing his open letter, Roger appeared unfazed, stating that being in the public eye naturally invites both praise and backlash.
“Please keep it coming. I am in the public sphere. I expect criticism, feedback, and I expect to be talked about or even not talked about,” Roger concluded.
The debate between Roger Otis and Abba Marcus remains a hot topic among netizens, with both sides holding firm to their positions.
