Popular media personality, Daddy Freeze has hit back at Big Brother Naija star, Cross ‘Da Boss’ Okonkwo following a heated social media clash over the criticism of Nigerian clergymen.
The feud escalated on Sunday, June 14, after Cross publicly ordered the broadcaster to “shut up” and cease his frequent attacks on Christian leaders.
The dispute originally began after Daddy Freeze released a video criticizing high-profile religious figures who attended the Service of Songs for the late actor, Alexx Ekubo. Daddy Freeze specifically singled out gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey and Pastor Jerry Eze, both of whom had noted during the service that they were scheduled to meet with Ekubo just a day before his tragic passing. Questioning their spiritual authority, Freeze challenged why the clergymen failed to heal the actor while he battled the illness that ultimately claimed his life.
In a reaction posted to X, Cross blasted the media personality, demanding he remain silent unless he had positive remarks to make about Jesus Christ or religious leaders. read here
Refusing to back down, Daddy Freeze issued a high-stakes counter-challenge to the reality TV star. He promised to pay ₦50 million to Cross, or any non-governmental organization (NGO) of his choice, if Cross could produce a single Nigerian pastor capable of healing a certified cripple in the manner of Jesus Christ.
Anticipating counter-arguments regarding his own spiritual status and that of his close associate, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, Freeze clarified their roles. He emphasized that both he and Pastor Tobi function strictly as “scripture teachers” rather than miracle-working clergymen, exempting them from the challenge.
