Freeze, who is a divorcee seemed to have dismissive opinion about the subject, while Dakolo, a one-time Idols West Africa winner feels a union between a man and wife should be sacred.
The heated conversation between the pair soon became an issue of who is in a more informed position to offer marriage advice.
Toke, who is also a divorcee took to her Twitter handle to condemn the act of shaming divorcees after a Twitter user mocked her for always dishing out relationship advice.
See the tweets below…
“The annoying thing is that@tokstarr used to talk about relationship on radio until she got served,” an Instagram user King Kennedy wrote.
The media personality retorted saying, “Got served by who???? Who gon serve me???
“The ultimate shaming of people who have or are going thru this thing called ‘divorce’ must stop. No one prays it to happen.
“Life happens. You deal the hand that you have been dealt and keep it moving,” she added.
