Nollywood actor Mofe Duncan has slammed media personality, Daddy Freeze, over his comment about 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.
Daddy Freeze, who was in attendance, topped headlines for going against the dress code, by wearing black instead of white.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, while addressing his choice of outfit, he narrated his experience at the event. He condemned the pastor’s preaching, questioning why a sermon was needed at such a gathering.
Daddy Freeze also 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.
Speaking out, in a lengthy post on his Instagram page, Mofe noted how the night wasn’t about him or anyone else but about Alex. He enlightened Freeze that the event wasn’t a funeral but a night of tributes and a service of songs.
He stated that Freeze doesn’t have the temerity to voice his opinion because he didn’t adhere to the dress code. Duncan noted that Alex’s family made it clear that Alex loved to worship and that a worship concert was what he would have wanted.
“With all due respect, Sir… the night wasn’t about you or anyone else but ALEXX.
I’m a very objective person, and I don’t put my mouth in matters that don’t concern me, nor do I lend energy to things I have no power over. The PRAYER OF SERENITY resonates with me daily. Still, as I’ve gotten older, I deeply struggle with the urge to want to EDUCATE people who step gravely out of line, and Bros… you stepped GRAVELY out of line.
My 2 cents:
- It was NOT a FUNERAL, it was a NIGHT OF TRIBUTES & A SERVICE OF SONGS.
- HYMNS were sung, Sir. Not once… Not Twice. I’m guessing you didn’t arrive early, because I personally cried during the rendition of BLESSED ASSURANCE. And I believe Hymns are predominantly synonymous with the Catholic Church and other closely related denominations. Was Alexx a Catholic, an Anglican or a Baptist? I’m just asking.
- It was a NIGHT OF WORSHIP, because if you were listening or paying attention and not caught up with your desire to want to observe and rush back online to report things you had issues with, you would’ve heard when members of ALEXX’s inner circle reiterated countless times that ALEXX LOVED TO WORSHIP. So, a “concert” of worship, as you expressed, is exactly what ALEXX would’ve wanted.
- You shouldn’t even have the temerity to voice your opinion because, for starters, you didn’t adhere to the dress code. You wore BLACK to an ALL WHITE celebration of ALEXX’s life, but each to their own, let’s leave that for a second cause you may actually have a good reason for your choice of outfit. Or maybe you actually thought it was a FUNERAL. I’m objective.
- And lastly, the audacity to come online and say you were angry and you left. May people not walk out on your own night of tributes. This last point is what destroyed my will to resist the urge to ignore your actions and instead EDUCATE you on why you should never have come online to whine and whinge and stain ALEXX’s glorious immortalisation.
With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to EDUCATE as well as CONVINCE you and not CONFUSE you that you stepped GRAVELY out of line and the night was not about you or your wants, needs or your opinion”.
