New videos from the Service of Songs for late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo have emerged online, with one of the highlights being the presence of popular socialite Cubana Chiefpriest. His attendance at the solemn ceremony has stirred up fiery reactions, reigniting his viral 'Cemetery Chilling' comment.
Chiefpriest Among Celebrities at Ekubo's Tribute
Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chiefpriest, was among the prominent figures from the entertainment industry who attended the Service of Songs honouring Alexx Ekubo. The actor passed away on May 11, 2026, at the age of 40. Previous reports showed videos of celebrities like AY Comedian, Kate Henshaw, Ini Edo, and IK Ogbonna at the gathering.
Controversy Over Past Remark
Amid the tributes, a video showing Chiefpriest arriving at the venue has triggered reactions, particularly in light of his recent controversial remark at another high-profile funeral. Chiefpriest made waves on social media over his comment at the funeral of Davido's friend, Tiny, in London. A viral clip captured the socialite saying, 'outside cemetery chilling,' a remark netizens described as insensitive and lacking empathy during mourning. While Chiefpriest did not make any comment during his arrival at Ekubo's Service of Songs, his past remark has resurfaced online.
