UK-based media personality Radiogad has weighed in on the growing controversy surrounding Cubana Chief Priest’s “cemetery chilling” comment, urging Afrobeats superstar Davido to be cautious about the people in his inner circle. The remark, made during a video showing Cubana Chief Priest, Davido, and others after attending the burial of Davido’s friend Tiny in the United Kingdom, has drawn widespread criticism online. Radiogad’s reaction, shared on social media, has amplified the debate, with many Nigerians and international fans questioning the appropriateness of the comment given the solemnity of the occasion.
The viral video captured Cubana Chief Priest saying, “Yeah man, we’re outside, cemetery chilling,” a phrase that quickly went viral and sparked outrage across social media platforms. Many users found the statement disrespectful and insensitive, especially considering the recent loss of Tiny, a close associate of Davido. The phrase “cemetery chilling” was seen by critics as trivializing grief and mocking the sacred nature of a burial ceremony. Others, however, argued that the comment might have been intended as a joke or slang, but was delivered at an inappropriate time.
Radiogad, known for his candid commentary on Nigerian entertainment and culture, responded with a direct warning to Davido. “Davido, avoid this guy. He will stain your white,” he said in a post that quickly gained traction. The broadcaster emphasized that public figures often face reputational risks due to the actions and words of those around them. He advised Davido to be mindful of his associations, suggesting that even well-meaning individuals can inadvertently cause controversy through careless remarks.
The incident has reignited discussions about the influence of social media on public perception and the responsibilities of celebrities and their entourages. While some defend Cubana Chief Priest, citing the possibility of misinterpretation or cultural context, others maintain that the comment was inappropriate regardless of intent. The backlash has also highlighted how quickly viral moments can escalate into broader conversations about respect, sensitivity, and public image.
As the debate continues, fans and critics alike are closely watching how Davido responds to the situation. The incident serves as a reminder of the fine line between humor and insensitivity in the public eye, especially during moments of mourning. Moving forward, the incident may prompt more scrutiny of how celebrities manage their personal and professional circles in an age of instant digital exposure.
