Why I Missed the White Dress Code: Daddy Freeze’s Public Apology After Alexx Ekubo’s Service of Songs

Media personality Daddy Freeze has issued a public apology after facing backlash for not wearing the mandatory white attire at actor Alexx Ekubo’s Service of Songs. In a video statement, he explained that he overlooked the dress code because he didn’t read the bottom of the physical invitation. He also noted he didn’t follow the late actor or his family on social media and so missed any digital updates. He questioned the choice of white for a memorial service, saying his cultural tradition calls for black when mourning a young person. Since Ekubo was much younger than him, Freeze felt white would have been inappropriate. The apology video has sparked debate online about respect for invitations and cultural dress norms at memorial events.
