Socialite and popular nightlife mogul Cubana Chiefpriest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, has subtly reacted to a viral video of billionaire businessman Cosmas Maduka, who criticized the popular slang “money na water.”
According to a report by Newsunplug, Maduka condemned the growing trend of lavish spending at parties, describing it as a “dead value system” that negatively influences society and misleads the younger generation.
The billionaire further advised Nigerians to reject the glorification of wasteful lifestyles, warning that the “money na water” mentality promotes indiscipline and weakens the values of hard work and integrity.
In what appeared to be a response, Cubana Chiefpriest, well-known for frequently using the slang, took to his official Instagram page to fire back with a subtle jab.
He wrote:
“Saying money na water is better than being in a forgery investigation,”
The celebrity barman also used the opportunity to promote his upcoming music project titled “Money Na Water,” sharing a teaser clip of the song along with the post.
“3 pm I will address that dry ‘Money Na Water’ speech from Africa’s most stingy man. Still verifying if he has been cleared in the forged import presidential waiver. Well, Sen. Omo Agege is still alive today. Saying money na water is better than being in a forgery investigation. Meanwhile, VENEZUELA (Money Na Water) with @millonariaafrica @boypee_ drops this Friday midnight.”

@oliwiltongroup:”Not necessary… Leave the man alone if not for anything for his age… A man on a mission doesn’t react to every stone thrown at it… He spoke according to his “old man” understanding… Let it slide.”
@chukwukanwankpa:”Please don’t go this line,in igbo land we respect our elders and he never mentioned your name. Allow his opinion while you find way to express your own opinion without dragging him to the mud.”

@validpipsfx:”Last last this is a generation without respect for elders. Sometime even if you are offended by what’s said, you take a look at who said it and say “if no be say na you… Ya diba!!” The same reason none of has ever spoken bad about Pete Edochie. An elder is an elder. But what do I know!”
