Rita Daniels, mother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has stirred widespread reactions on social media after sharing a viral singing video on June 28, 2024, following her gift of a car to Regina’s father. The video, posted on her official social media page, quickly gained attention not for her performance alone, but for the striking and seemingly pointed lyrics of the song she sang. Fans and followers were left speculating about the message behind the words, which appeared to address a polygamist referred to as “papa” in a mix of emotional and critical tones.
In the song, Rita Daniels sings: “But e no get shame, polygamy, this one na bigamy. My papa don give another woman belle, my papa don score goal for outside, my papa too broke for this kind life but he dey claim say him na sharp guy, polygamu.” The lyrics, delivered with a mix of sorrow and defiance, resonated deeply with many Nigerians who saw them as a direct commentary on marital infidelity and the challenges faced by families in polygamous relationships. The use of Pidgin English and relatable imagery made the song especially impactful among the local audience.
The video was shared shortly after Rita Daniels gifted a car to Regina’s father, an act that already drew public interest. However, the singing video quickly overshadowed the gift, becoming the main talking point online. Social media users flooded the comments section with reactions, ranging from praise for her voice to speculation about the identity of the “papa” referenced in the lyrics. Some users expressed concern for Regina’s well-being, urging her mother to protect her from the potential fallout of such public revelations.
Comments like “No gree for anybody ooh, protect your daughter she is too precious for polygamy” and “Who get this stray bullet mummy” highlighted the emotional weight the song carried. Others joked or speculated, with one user writing, “Na Jonasi that grandpa be o,” referencing a well-known Nigerian personality. Another fan noted, “E bi like say I know dis ya papa,” suggesting the lyrics struck a chord with personal experiences.
The video’s popularity has sparked conversations about family dynamics, gender roles, and the public lives of celebrities in Nigeria. While some praised Rita Daniels for her courage in addressing sensitive topics, others urged caution, reminding her of the potential consequences of naming names in a public forum. Despite the speculation, Rita Daniels has not clarified whether the song was directed at a specific individual or was a general expression of frustration.
As the video continues to circulate, it has become a cultural moment, reflecting broader societal debates on marriage, loyalty, and family. The performance by Rita Daniels has not only showcased her artistic side but also amplified her voice as a protective mother in the public eye. With discussions still ongoing, the song remains a significant topic in Nigerian entertainment and social discourse.
