DJ Chicken is back in the spotlight after a candid interview he granted following his release from prison went viral on X on 23 July 2026, drawing waves of laughter and commentary from Nigerian social media users.
In the interview with Egungun, the entertainer was asked how he found his time in prison. His response was brief but telling: "It's not easy bro," he admitted. When pressed on his biggest regret, he pointed directly to the experience of being locked up.
DJ Chicken Refuses to Change His Ways
Things got more heated when Egungun asked what he planned to do differently going forward. DJ Chicken was having none of it. Rather than show remorse or outline a new path, he pushed back firmly, saying: "I don't want to change my ways. You can't even change my ways for me. I'm the only one that will change my life, dem no born you papa well. My life, so nobody can even change my way."
The defiant response immediately caught fire online, with users splitting between amusement and disbelief at his boldness so soon after his release.
