The controversy surrounding the service of songs for late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo has taken a new turn as a video of media personality Daddy Freeze recounting his experience at the event has gone viral. In the video, Daddy Freeze criticized gospel singer Mercy Chinwo's ministration and questioned the presence of a sermon, sparking heated reactions from many Nigerians, including fellow celebrities.
Daddy Freeze's Account of the Event
In the viral video, Daddy Freeze narrated that during the service, gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey mentioned he had never met Alexx Ekubo but had planned to visit him with a pastor friend before his death. Freeze questioned why they could not perform a miracle on the late actor, even after singing and praying for him posthumously. He also condemned the pastor's preaching, asking why a sermon was necessary at such a gathering.
Regarding Mercy Chinwo, Daddy Freeze claimed she turned the event into a concert. He stated, "Does Mercy Chinwo not have soft music? Do you not understand what a funeral is? They should have sung hymns." According to him, this was the moment he decided to leave the event.
