Media personality Daddy Freeze has publicly criticized Nollywood actor Yul Edochie for his remarks regarding OAP Roby Ekpo's failed marriage with Mayowa Lambe. The controversy erupted after Roby's emotional interview went viral, prompting broadcaster Do2dtun to defend him by emphasizing the importance of mental health and speaking out rather than suffering in silence.
Yul Edochie's Controversial Advice
Disagreeing with Roby's emotional display, Yul Edochie dismissed the tears and suggested that the broadcaster should find five attractive replacements and impregnate them all simultaneously. In his words: "My brother, speaking out is okay. Crying is totally unacceptable. Rather than cry for a woman, replace her with five new hot women, impregnate all of them at once."
Daddy Freeze's Reaction
This advice deeply irritated Daddy Freeze, who immediately questioned the actor's intelligence for making such an impractical suggestion. Freeze explained that Roby's publicly discussed lack of sexual stamina makes it physically impossible for him to handle several women, noting that only a highly active man performing multiple times daily could ever achieve that.
"I am seeing all sorts of comments like 'Roby, why are you crying.' Yul Edochie said he should marry his second wife and get all of them pregnant on the same day. Shey Roby wey dey knack like Tyson wan impregnate seven women on the same day? This Yul e be like say you no too get sense like that. Shey na man wey dey impregnate twice a week wan knack seven women. Person wey one impregnate seven women dey knack two or three times a day," Freeze said in a video.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
Social media users shared varied responses to the clash. Some supported emotional expression in men, while others criticized both Yul's advice and Freeze's personal attack.
- @itz_adaorah: "It's very okay for a man to cry once in a while, they are also human. He loved her wholeheartedly. But he sure needs to move on ASAP and get the new lady pregnant too, with twins if possible."
- @evytee123k: "Yul, you need to heal from whatever that has broken you because I see anger in your speech. We don't have the right to judge anyone in marriage. If it is not working out, walk away."
- @rayartworld: "Crying is completely fine... Even Timi Dakolo that sat not too far from him was teary."
- @oboks_again: "You took it too personal Freeze. He is just trying to make the bereaved uphold his masculinity."
- @tindorisclosetofficial: "Yul na mumu before that's the karma Judy Austin deserves. Not every voice that speaks on Nollywood has sense, know that and know peace."
- @realgoose_bee: "Honestly my brothers, ending up with just one woman is not the best option because that one woman will always do shakara for you and even try to frustrate you. By the time you have two wives or more, they will be in competition among themselves looking for a way to please you."
Daddy Freeze on Interfaith Marriage
Earlier, Freeze had weighed in on the debate about interfaith marriages between Christians and Muslims. He criticized pastors who warned against such unions, asserting that love should come before religion or tribe. The media personality added that religion and tribe are assigned at birth, while love is a personal choice people should freely make.
