Nigerian singer Yinka TNT has reacted to the ongoing viral controversy surrounding media personality Roby Ekpo’s failed marriage, urging him to handle the situation differently, according to a report by Kemi Filani.
The development comes amid intense social media reactions following Ekpo’s emotional revelations about his crashed marriage to Mayowa Lambe, which has dominated conversations across platforms in the last 12 hours.

According to the report, Yinka TNT, whose real name is Oluyinka Ayanda, shared his opinion in a video message addressing Ekpo’s public display of emotions.
“As a man, you don’t need to come online to cry,” he said.
“Handle your issues privately and move on.”
Speaking further, the singer advised Ekpo to focus on rebuilding himself rather than seeking sympathy online, stressing that public emotional breakdowns may not always attract the kind of support one expects.
The controversy follows Ekpo’s recent interview, where he detailed the collapse of his marriage, alleging issues around intimacy, financial support, and betrayal. The interview quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online.
Meanwhile, reactions have continued to pour in from celebrities and social media users, with some backing Ekpo for speaking his truth, while others criticised him for going public.
A clip of Ekpo speaking emotionally about his marriage has also been circulating widely online, further fueling the debate.
The situation adds to the ongoing dispute between Ekpo and his estranged wife, which has already taken a legal turn following a ₦100 million defamation demand.
As at the time of filing this report, Ekpo has not responded to Yinka TNT’s comments, but the conversation around the saga shows no sign of slowing down.
