Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze has recounted his experience at Alex Ekubo’s Service of Songs.
Kemi Filani reported that on Wednesday, June 10th, a Service of Songs was held for the actor at the Monarch Event Centre, Lekki. As expected, many celebrities turned up keeping strictly to the dress code, white, except, Daddy Freeze who wore black.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, he first apologised for violating the dress code and went on to narrate his experience at the event.
He said that while they were seated, gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey came up to him, revealing that he had never met Alex, but he and his Pastor friend had planned to visit the day after he died. Freeze questioned why they couldn’t perform a miracle on the late actor, even when they went to sing and pray for him.
The media personality also condemned the pastor’s preaching, questioning why a sermon was needed at such a gathering. He pointed out the irony of how phones were stolen despite his preaching.
Daddy Freeze slammed Mercy Chinwo, claiming she turned the event into a concert. According to him, it was at this point that he got up and went home. The former OAP questioned whether people understand what a funeral is.
“I apologise to everyone who felt offended because of what I wore to Alex’s service of songs. I wore black because I didn’t see the invite on IG, and we don’t follow each other. The invite that was sent to my phone, I didn’t see the dress code at the bottom. Where I come from, people wear black to mourn. I don’t understand the white. I thought we were mourning a young man who d!ed when it was not yet his time. He d!ed because of Nigeria’s failure and religious influence. I never knew that a service of songs would have a dress code
While we were seated, Nathaniel Bassey came up and blew the trumpet. He revealed that he never met Alex, but he and his Pastor friend planned to go pray and sing for him on Tuesday, but he passed on Monday. He said they still went there on Tuesday to sing and pray. I am surprised they couldn’t perform a miracle on him. Another pastor came up to preach. I don’t understand why we needed a sermon in such a gathering. Despite the pastor’s sermon, someone still stole 4 phones at the event. Later on, Mercy Chinwo climbed the stage and turned the place into a concert. At this point, I got up and went home. Do people understand what a funeral is? They could have just played hymns.
To Yul Edochie, who blamed Alex for not showing his wife before he d!ed, what is your business with the wife? Do you want to start dating her? Everything is not clout”.
While speaking on the death of Alex, Daddy Freeze said Alex’s breakup with his ex-fiancée, Fancy Acholonu, broke him. According to him, Alex was at his house one day, and it was clear that the breakup affected him. The media personality stressed that the actor didn’t rise from the scandal until he disappeared.
