Popular Nigerian TikTok personality DJ Chicken has taken serious security measures following a violent encounter with an angry mob in Sagamu, Ogun State. The controversial content creator was recently spotted with a personal security guard after the traumatic incident that left him fearing for his safety.
From Viral Beating to Bodyguard Protection
The dramatic turn of events began when DJ Chicken's vehicle reportedly struck a motorcycle in Sagamu, injuring both a man and a woman. The situation quickly escalated as an angry crowd descended on the social media star, resulting in physical assault that was captured on video and widely circulated online.
In response to the frightening experience, DJ Chicken appeared in a new video on Friday, November 13, 2025, showing him accompanied by a security personnel who walked closely beside him and his crew. The TikTok star hinted they were heading to Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, marking his first public appearance since the attack.
DJ Chicken's Defiant Message to Sagamu Residents
Not one to stay quiet, DJ Chicken used the opportunity to send a pointed message to the people of Sagamu. In the caption of his Instagram video, he wrote in Yoruba: "Ishagamu ti Daran, Abeokuta ya oluwo egba, Omo baba Ika wuwa ika," which translates to "Shagamu is in trouble, Abeokuta here I come Oluwo Egba."

However, some commentators showed sympathy for DJ Chicken's situation. BloodytoothG noted: "Them don really price him market. That day him really fear for him life. Walahi I don't even blame him for carrying Mopol around. Man is scared."
