Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has ignited controversy online following the emergence of a video in which he made a seemingly insensitive remark during the London funeral of Igho 'Tiny' Ubiribo, a close associate of singer Davido.
Funeral Atmosphere Shifted
The businessman traveled to the United Kingdom alongside Davido and numerous other mourners to pay their final respects to the late Ubiribo. As friends and family gathered to lay the body to rest, the solemn mood took an unexpected turn when a recording from the cemetery captured the nightlife entrepreneur making light of the situation.
Video Sparks Backlash
In the widely circulated clip, Chiefpriest is seen leaving the burial grounds and heard saying, 'Yeah men, we outside, cemetery chilling.' He repeated the phrase, 'Yea men..outside…cemetery chilling,' while showing off his watch. The video quickly went viral, drawing criticism from many who deemed the comment disrespectful given the somber occasion.
