May I tell you that there is a deference among "talk to" , "talk with" and "talk at".
NB: When you "talk to", you do that with the intention of doing the talking alone.
To "talk with" is to engage the second party in the conversation such that you talk and he/she talks too, in response.
To "talk at" is quite derogatory. It is to ridicule, insult or look down on someone in a conversation.
e.g. Tee Billz talked at Tiwa Savage, in a bid to expose what people didn't know about them.
CAUTION: Almost everyone keeps saying "Tee Billz talked with or talked to.
No, please!
I see you can now differentiate the three!
