Nigerian comedian DJ Chicken has broken his silence following his release from prison, offering a surprisingly positive account of his time behind bars and heaping praise on Seyi Tinubu and the current administration. In a video circulating on social media, the controversial content creator appeared relaxed alongside his sister, vowing to adopt a lower profile going forward.
DJ Chicken Speaks on Prison Conditions
In the footage, DJ Chicken insisted he was not maltreated during his detention. “They didn't maltreat me,” he said, adding that he questioned whether he was even in prison at all given the conditions. He went further to commend the government, specifically naming Seyi Tinubu as deserving of credit for his treatment.
The comedian had been arrested a few weeks ago, prompting his lawyer to cry out for help from Nigerians. His release came after 12 days in custody, according to earlier reports.
Vows to Keep a Lower Profile
One of the most telling moments in the video was DJ Chicken’s pledge to change his behavior. “I no talk too much again, my sister,” he told his sibling, signaling a shift from his previously outspoken public persona. The statement has been interpreted by many as an attempt to avoid future trouble.
His decision to commend the government so soon after release did not go unnoticed, and many Nigerians online were quick to express skepticism.
