Nigerian social media personality DJ Chicken has ignited a national debate after making a controversial statement during a live session, claiming he would kill Seyi Tinubu if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wins the next election. The remark, which quickly went viral on platforms like Twitter and Instagram, has drawn sharp reactions from Nigerians, with many condemning the threat as dangerous and inappropriate. The statement was made in a live video where DJ Chicken expressed strong views on Nigeria’s political future and the role of the Tinubu family in upcoming elections.
In the clip, DJ Chicken said, “Tinubu cannot win this election, if he wins, I will k!!l Seyi Tinubu.” The use of violent language and the direct threat against a public figure’s son sparked immediate outrage. Many users took to social media to express their shock, with some calling for legal action against the entertainer. Others mocked his comment, using humor to highlight the seriousness of the situation. The phrase “k!!l Seyi Tinubu” became a trending topic, with users sharing memes and sarcastic responses.
The reactions ranged from concern over public safety to criticism of the lack of accountability for online threats. Some users warned DJ Chicken that he could face serious consequences, including arrest, if the threat is taken seriously by law enforcement. Others questioned the wisdom of making such statements in a public forum, especially when they involve threats against individuals connected to the presidency. The incident has also reignited discussions about the limits of free speech in Nigeria and the responsibility of influencers.

Despite the backlash, some users defended DJ Chicken’s right to express his opinion, even if it was extreme. @1of1Noble noted, “Wettin people no know be say no be their vote carry ham enter So with and without their vote,,, his 2nd term no shake🤐,” suggesting that the president’s re-election is inevitable regardless of public opinion. @Olasunkanmi Yaki joked, “Chicken no talk pass yourself oo 🤐😁😄 kpatani if he enter gan, dem fit con first drop you sef 😆 🤣,” implying that DJ Chicken might be the first target if his words are taken seriously.
