LAGOS, NIGERIA — DJ Chicken, a Nigerian social media personality, generated widespread reactions after making a threatening statement directed at Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, during a live session on social media. Clips from the broadcast circulated widely online, prompting public criticism.
According to videos shared across social media platforms, DJ Chicken made the remark while expressing his views on Nigeria’s political landscape and future elections. The comments quickly attracted attention from supporters and critics, with many users condemning the language used and calling for responsible public conduct.
