Albert Nat Hyde, the blogger known on Twitter as Bongo Ideas over his brouhaha with Nana Aba Anamoah has dragged himself into a new cyberbullying controversy.
Joy FM’s Gary Al-Smith posted photos of him in a suit from the Ballon D’or ceremony and Bongo Ideas decided to comment on his outfit. He wrote “Opinion: the suit could have been worn better. Not a bad one btw“.
The comment has left many users on the bird app outraged with concerns that his tweet is not different from what he apologized for after his brouhaha with Nana Aba at the Next TV Star auditions.
Albert after his apology promised to be an ambassador against cyberbullying. He met with Bola Ray and Nana Aba with reports that he will be working with EIB on cyberbullying campaign. However, he later pulled out from the engagement for personal reasons.

I’m not gonna kowtow to your bogus whims and caprices so far as I know I do not personally attack, denigrate or berate anyone. Henceforth, I’m not gonna condone personal attacks and vendettas“.
In another tweet, he said “y’all ain’t qualified to lecture me on 21st Century Social Media etiquette. Meanwhile, apart from sexual, mundane and off content, you got nothing sensible to tweet.
