The Nigerian entertainment scene is buzzing once again as music producer Wizaboy, known for his work with superstar Wizkid, has stirred controversy with his recent social media comments targeting actress Regina Daniels' mother, Rita Daniels.
The drama unfolded after Rita Daniels made a statement suggesting that her daughter's marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko had significantly boosted her husband's popularity and public recognition.
Wizaboy's Savage Response
Wizaboy didn't hold back in his reaction to Rita Daniels' claim. The producer took to social media with a mocking response that immediately went viral among Nigerian entertainment followers.
In his now-controversial post, Wizaboy implied that the notion of Regina Daniels boosting Ned Nwoko's profile was laughable, given the businessman's established status and wealth long before his marriage to the young actress.
The Background of the Feud
Regina Daniels, who rose to fame as a child actress in Nollywood, made headlines when she married Ned Nwoko, a man several decades her senior. The marriage has remained a topic of intense discussion within Nigerian entertainment circles and beyond.
Rita Daniels, Regina's mother and manager, has been vocal in defending her daughter's choices and frequently speaks about the benefits the marriage has brought to both parties.
Social Media Reactions
Nigerian social media users have been divided in their reactions to Wizaboy's comments. Some have praised the producer for "speaking the truth," while others have criticized him for disrespecting an elder and involving himself in family matters.
The incident has sparked broader conversations about celebrity relationships, age-gap marriages in Nigeria, and the boundaries of social media commentary in the entertainment industry.
What This Means for Nollywood
This latest celebrity feud highlights the ongoing intersection between Nigeria's film industry and social media culture, where offhand comments can quickly escalate into major public controversies that dominate entertainment news cycles for days.
As the story continues to develop, fans and critics alike are watching to see if Regina Daniels or her mother will respond directly to Wizaboy's provocative statements.
