The internet is abuzz with the news of the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024. This near-death experience occurred during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was shot at multiple times by a gunman. Fortunately, only his ear was grazed before Secret Service agents rushed him off the podium.<\/p>\n

Social media users responded in various ways, with some expressing relief that the attempt was unsuccessful, others condemning the attack, and some raising doubts about its authenticity. Here is how Nigerian celebrities reacted to the news:<\/p>\n

Charly Boy<\/strong> Nigerian singer and socialite Charly Boy took to Instagram to express his skepticism about the attempt, suggesting that the shooting didn\u2019t add up. He wrote:<\/p>\n

“America Wonder. There is something about dis Trumps alleged Assassination dat don\u2019t add up for me; something about all dis mess smells of a Maga setup. I Don\u2019t fucking trust Trump.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Charly Boy shared his questions about the incident:<\/p>\n

“1. Why was a rooftop with a direct line of sight 148 yards from the stage left unsecured to begin with?<\/p>\n

2. Was Trump really hit by a bullet dat merely grazed his ear or by glass fragments from god knows where?<\/p>\n

3. Was dis an intentional cut? Abegi Americans make una Investigate dis mater wella.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He continued with further doubts:<\/p>\n

“4. The con man strike again?<\/p>\n

5. Did they find a Mugu they encouraged and assisted him to shoot the target person and then they make sure that guy gets killed so he can\u2019t talk about it? These are the questions that have overwhelmed me since morning. Can anybody help me with answers?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2Baba<\/strong> Legendary singer 2Baba also questioned the authenticity of the attempt. In his Instagram story, he posted the video showing the moment Trump\u2019s ear was grazed and wrote:<\/p>\n

“I go shock if I’m wrong, but this shit na pure package.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Toyin Lawani<\/strong> Popular Nigerian celebrity Toyin Lawani expressed disbelief in the assassination attempt\u2019s authenticity, calling Trump an ‘actor’. On Instagram, she commented on a blog post about Trump\u2019s close call with death:<\/p>\n
