Media personality Daddy Freeze has stirred reactions online following his comments after being criticised for wearing black to the service of songs held for the late father of actor Alexx Ekubo.
Reacting to the backlash, he said:
“I thought we were møurning a young man who died when it was not yet his time. He diEd because of Nigeria’s failure and religious influence. I never knew that a service of songs will have dress code”
His statement has since triggered mixed reactions online as users debated whether mourning events should follow strict dress codes or remain informal expressions of grief.
@EkyDorlyn
In Nigeria burial is now a full time ceremony instead of mourning the deceased
@IamtheOYE
Imagine dress code for service of songs…Nigerian celebrities will whine you but no panic..! All of them,fake fake fake,I repeat fake fake!!
@Ehys__
There is something called protocol, when the family agreed to do it, the personal feelings don’t matter, he is an asshole
@zatas70
Those Nollywood Actors turned the whole thing into fashion parade which was unnecessary
@HeIsSommyApril
He’s stupid for saying this.
Y’all were asked to come mourn in an all white attire and you came putting on a black cloth.
I’m sure he must have felt foolish looking how everyone turned up with white and he was looking way different.
