Cubana Chief Priest, a well-known figure in Nigeria’s nightlife and entertainment scene, has recently found himself in the midst of controversy after showcasing 47 cows that he gifted to a friend for his mother’s funeral. This display has attracted criticism, particularly in light of ongoing legal issues involving his baby mama, who is reportedly still in custody.
On January 8, 2025, Cubana Chief Priest shared a video on social media highlighting the cows he donated for the burial rites of a friend’s mother. The gesture was intended as a show of support during a significant time of mourning. However, the public’s response has been mixed, with many questioning the appropriateness of flaunting such a lavish gift while his baby mama remains incarcerated. The phrase “Akpi nwamama still dey cell Boss,” has become a focal point of criticism. Observers have expressed concern that Chief Priest’s ostentatious display of wealth comes at a time when he should be more focused on personal matters and the well-being of those close to him.
The juxtaposition of his generous gift with his personal struggles has led to accusations of insensitivity. Critics argue that while it is commendable to support friends during difficult times, showcasing such an extravagant gesture publicly can come off as tone-deaf, especially when juxtaposed against serious personal issues. The sentiment among some social media users suggests that Chief Priest should prioritize resolving his family matters over public displays of wealth and generosity.
This incident could have implications for Cubana Chief Priest’s public image, as it raises questions about his priorities and sensitivity towards pressing personal issues. As a public figure, he is often scrutinized for his actions, and this situation might affect how fans and followers perceive him moving forward.
After failing to release Akpi and showing off cows he had purchased for a friend at his mother’s burial, Cubana Chief Priest was hauled.
As you may remember, during his altercation with Burna Boy, Chief Priest promised to free Akpi, also known as Speed Darlington, from prison.
Cubana Chief Priest posted earlier….
“Tomorrow we are coming for you, Akpi Nwamama. Monday is almost here. Let’s now showcase power.”
The businessman’s promise to assist in Akpi’s release from prison hasn’t been fulfilled, though. After he posted a video of the cows he purchased for his friend at his mother’s burial, some people reminded him of this.
