Popular socialite and nightlife promoter, Cubana Chief Priest, has responded to online critics who mocked him for kneeling before Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, during a recent visit alongside Afrobeats star, Davido.
A photo that surfaced days ago showed the celebrity entrepreneur kneeling in what appeared to be a respectful gesture during his visit to the Vice President’s residence. The image quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media. While some saw it as a harmless show of respect, others accused Cubana Chief Priest of trying to curry political favour.
Unbothered by the backlash, Cubana Chief Priest took to social media to share a throwback photo of himself and his wife both kneeling during an earlier visit to VP Shettima. Using the moment to double down on his stance, he wrote:
“Una dey cry say I kneel. Me and my beloved wife sef join kneel the first time I visited the residence of the VP…”
His post immediately reignited conversation, with many netizens weighing in.
Here are some reactions from social media:
-
@anaegbuachara_gerald: “Make them cry well well. As if they wouldn’t do the same if given the opportunity. The country is not getting any better. Find a way to survive or keep crying.”
-
@officialmaxwelllegacy: “Helen’s prayers are working indeed! Cuz what is this?”
-
@flos_sey99: “Pascal you don dey trigger Helen oo.”
-
@thevillagechef: “A couple that kneels together…”
Despite the criticism, Cubana Chief Priest appears undeterred, using the controversy to highlight not only his values of respect and humility but also the lengths people are willing to go to judge others while ignoring their own potential actions in similar situations.
