Businessman Isaac Fayose has sparked online controversy by criticizing nightlife mogul Cubana Chiefpriest (real name Pascal Okechukwu) for kneeling before Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, during a recent meeting.

A viral video shows Chiefpriest bowing respectfully while pledging support for the Tinubu-led administration, a move that has triggered mixed public reactions.
In response, Fayose questioned the source of Chiefpriest’s wealth—especially a luxury car allegedly worth ₦1.6 billion—and raised concerns about transparency in his financial dealings.
He cited a recent incident where Afrobeats star Burna Boy gave $30,000 to a man claiming to be Chiefpriest’s brother, a phone repairer in Lagos. Chiefpriest later denied any familial relationship with the man.

Fayose criticized the denial, saying public figures must prioritize family support to avoid public embarrassment. “If you don’t help your own blood, expect disgrace,” he said, pointing to families like the Adelekes and Eleganzas as models of strong family bonds.
