Cubana Chiefpriest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, has found himself embroiled in a fresh social media dispute with Christian writer Solomon Buchi. The confrontation erupted after Buchi publicly criticized Chiefpriest for a comment he made during the funeral of Davido's late friend, known as Tiny, in the United Kingdom.
The Controversial Remark
Chiefpriest had stated, 'We are chilling outside the cemetery,' a phrase that drew widespread backlash from Nigerians online, who deemed it insensitive and disrespectful given the somber occasion. Buchi weighed in with a viral video, accusing the socialite of lacking class and social etiquette.
'The worst thing that can happen to a man is to be rich but lack class. Imagine someone saying, 'We are chilling outside the cemetery.' Even at a cemetery, where the dead are buried, he's still trying to prove himself. As you hustle to make money, also make sure you hustle to understand social etiquette and class,' Buchi said in the video.
Chiefpriest's Response
In a sharp retort, Chiefpriest repeatedly dismissed Buchi as a 'poor man' whose opinions are irrelevant. He commented on Buchi's page, 'Your own na to sit down dey talk about successful people, poor man & opinion. ODE !!!!' The exchange escalated as Chiefpriest flaunted his celebrity status, wealth, and a village mansion reportedly worth billions of naira.
Public Reactions
Many netizens condemned Chiefpriest for what they perceived as a classless and money-obsessed attitude. Below are some of the reactions compiled from social media:
- KingOfAdenta1: 'If money is what you see as being rich you never had a lot of money before. Riches come first by how many people you build, how many lives you’ve blessed not going to the cemetery to brag about wealth God bless you Buchi. We Igbo’s are not known for such but business minded.'
- odirah_cellz: 'But this Solomon Buchi opinions on every trending matter is annoying.'
