See Why Deeone Called Cubana Chief Priest a “Betrayer” After Kneeling to Nigeria’s Vice President

Comedian Deeone has sparked intense reactions online after he labeled nightlife boss Cubana Chief Priest a betrayer for kneeling before Nigeria’s Vice President during a recent visit.

The viral photo of Chief Priest kneeling stirred outrage, with many interpreting it as excessive flattery. But for Deeone, it was deeper than that, he called the gesture a betrayal of the struggles and dignity of ordinary Nigerians who look up to celebrities to speak truth to power, not bow to it.

In a scathing video, Deeone said:

“This is why we can’t take some of you seriously. You kneel down for a politician in a country where people are hungry? It shows who you really are. Betrayal, plain and simple.”

“Bros, na this kind truth we dey wait for!”

“If na ordinary citizen do this, una go drag am tire. But because na celeb, una wan defend am?”

“You kneel to politicians but no dey kneel for the people that made you popular.”
