Fans have voiced concerns over a recent video showing Priscilla interacting with her infant son, who is less than two months old.
In the viral clip, the young mother is seen placing her baby, Rakeem, in a sitter while he watches Cocomelon, a popular children’s cartoon. The little boy appeared cheerful and engaged, moving his legs excitedly as he watched.
However, many viewers expressed worry about the possible effects of exposing a newborn to screen time. Several social media users cautioned Priscilla, noting that a baby’s brain, eyes, and other organs are still developing at that stage.
Some commenters advised her to avoid letting him watch television altogether, while others suggested opting for gentler, less stimulating shows if she wished to keep him entertained.
This incident isn’t the first time Priscilla has faced criticism over her parenting choices. Months earlier, another video went viral showing her dancing energetically with the baby in her arms without properly supporting his neck and back. Viewers quickly corrected her, emphasizing the importance of holding a newborn’s head securely to prevent injury.

@starlume_3:”Coco melon is overstimulating to the brain . Even if screen wants to be introduced. Ms Rachel or other less stimulating shows are ok.”
@odeh305:”This baby is not up to 2 months. I feel it’s too early for this. They want this boy to become 1 year over night.”
@angelasusanomoike:”I enjoy watching ball your videos.. But this right here is too early.. Too early to be exposed to the screen.. pls consider his eyes , brain, everything is still developing. The time to introduce this will still come.. No hurry pls.”
@fine_thingshub:”Check out the movement of Rakeem’s feet.”
@mrsdon01:”Baby Rakeem has no business with screen for now. Over here paediatrician will tell you until they are 3! His sight , brain and other organs are still developing. All he needs now is bonding and not screen.”
@ibukunannaibk1:”See my baby aww life is good and sweet my love.”
@ebubeed:”If someone says something now, even tho out of love, dem go attack,well, this screen exposure is dangerously mega early ,the effect is counterproductive to proper development. God bless Rakeem always. Amen.”
