Popular Big Brother Naija star and billionaire heir, Kidwaya, has come to the defence of nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest, following widespread backlash over his recent meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Over the weekend, Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, visited the Presidential Villa in Abuja alongside Afrobeats superstar Davido, music executive Ubi Franklin, and members of the 30BG crew.

The delegation was warmly received by President Tinubu.

While the post was meant to celebrate a significant moment in his career, it instead sparked a firestorm of criticism. Netizens accused the socialite of aligning with political leaders during a time when many Nigerians are struggling with inflation, unemployment, and hardship.

The backlash grew worse after an older video resurfaced showing Cubana Chief Priest kneeling to greet Vice President Kashim Shettima, which critics interpreted as sycophantic.

In the face of the online storm, Kiddwaya stepped in to show support. Taking to Instagram, he commented under Cubana Chief Priest’s post: “To meet President, you think na easy!! @cuban_chiefpriest, no mind the haters. More wins, my brother.”
