Daddy Freeze has expressed feeling vindicated amid renewed discussions about the funeral arrangements for late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, particularly following backlash he received for wearing black to the actor’s service of songs in Lagos, which had an announced all-white dress code. The media personality, known for his outspoken nature, revisited the controversy in a recent video that has sparked widespread reactions online. He defended his choice of attire, stating that he followed his spiritual guidance and did not see the white dress code as a binding directive. “We can see that there is an issue with the dress code, I went as led by the spirit, in all honesty I didn’t see the white, I don’t understand the white,” he said.
Daddy Freeze further clarified that he was not alone in wearing black to the event, countering claims that he was the only guest to do so. He pointed out that some members of Ekubo’s family were also dressed in black, suggesting that the dress code was either not strictly enforced or not clearly communicated to all attendees. This revelation has added another layer to the ongoing debate about the funeral’s organization and the role of key family members in the planning process. Social media users have since taken sides, with some supporting Daddy Freeze’s stance while others continue to criticize his actions.
The controversy has also drawn reactions from members of Alexx Ekubo’s family, who have reportedly raised concerns about the overall management of the funeral. Some family members have indicated that the arrangements were made without their full involvement, and that certain protocols—like the dress code—were not properly coordinated. This has led to questions about who was in charge of the event and whether the family’s wishes were truly respected. One social media user commented, “And this same dress code people bashed you for is same thing his family are pointing out as some of the things they found abnormal in his funeral which they said they just did the arrangements without the key families involved.”
Public discourse around the incident remains intense, with users expressing frustration over the way the situation has unfolded. Some have criticized those who quickly jumped to judgment, urging caution before engaging in online debates. Others have questioned the credibility of those who criticized Daddy Freeze, suggesting that the backlash may have been misplaced. As the conversation continues, the incident highlights broader issues around celebrity funerals, family dynamics, and public accountability in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. The fallout from Alexx Ekubo’s funeral is likely to remain a topic of discussion as more details emerge and stakeholders continue to voice their perspectives.
