Nigerian skit maker and online streamer DJ Chicken has sparked widespread controversy after a live TikTok phone call in which he publicly disowned a young girl who claimed to be his daughter. The tense exchange, which quickly went viral, ended with DJ Chicken blocking the girl across all his social media platforms.
Heated Exchange Over Prison Time
During the livestream, DJ Chicken confronted the girl, visibly agitated, accusing her of celebrating her birthday and going live on TikTok while he was incarcerated at Kirikiri prison. The skit maker had been detained over comments he made about Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“I was inside Kirikiri prison, and you were dancing on TikTok… I was in prison, and you were celebrating birthday. You shall never know peace,” he said during the call, according to the viral clip.
Girl Pushes Back With Evidence
Rather than back down, the young girl defended herself. She pointed to her tribal mark as visual evidence of their resemblance, insisting the likeness was undeniable. She also reminded DJ Chicken that she had gone live on TikTok while he was imprisoned and publicly given authorities five days to secure his release.
As DJ Chicken threatened to block her, she pleaded with him not to, repeating that she was his daughter. Her appeals were ignored; shortly after the call ended, DJ Chicken blocked her on all his social media handles.
Social Media Reactions
The video drew a wave of commentary across platforms, with many users noting the striking similarities in temperament between DJ Chicken and the alleged daughter.
@Kayunsto commented: “The girl talk plenty while he was on exile.” @YHORMYTH reacted: “He has block her like 20 times?” @5exoqu observed: “Both of them get the same level of fra??” @__mj05_ wrote: “When you meet someone who has same attitude as you.” @iamyomzzy shared: “My father use to say only a lion cub will bite lion and he won’t be able to do anything…. Na because say na him papa na why she Dey do like that. Make she go follow another person papa do am nah.” @EzekielAlamu noted: “Him go later unblock am, why him Dey vex Sheybi na d same behavior them get.”
Background and Broader Impact
In an earlier interview with Egungun on 23 July 2026, DJ Chicken described prison life as “not easy.” When asked about regrets, he pointed directly to the hardship of being locked up, offering little remorse. He defiantly refused to change his ways, a stance that ignited both amusement and disbelief online.
The incident has reignited discussions about accountability and family dynamics among Nigerian influencers. The girl’s tribal mark, a traditional facial scarification, became a focal point in the debate over identity and parental responsibility. DJ Chicken’s claim that he had only slept with the girl’s mother once and distanced himself after learning the child was not a boy added further layers to the controversy.
