Embattled content creator and street DJ Ademola Abiodun, widely known as DJ Chicken, was captured on video looking unusually subdued while writing a statement at a police station. The footage, shared on TikTok by user ayomido27, shows DJ Chicken seated at a desk in a white singlet, arms crossed as he rested on the table, focused on what appeared to be a written statement. Overlays on the video read "Very humble" and "See as my baby humble," poking fun at the contrast with his typically energetic and dramatic social media persona.
Background of the Arrest
Recall that DJ Chicken was arrested reportedly for a video containing alleged threatening remarks directed at Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu. He was remanded at Kirikiri Correctional Centre and appeared in court on Friday, July 9, where bail conditions were addressed but not immediately resolved, preventing his release. As of now, his legal situation remains ongoing; however, some netizens are pleading for his release.
