‘Cemetery Chilling’: Cubana Chief Priest Faces Backlash Over Funeral Comment

Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has come under fire for his offhand remark at the funeral of Davido’s late friend Denis “Tiny” Ukonho. In a clip from the service, Chief Priest jokes “cemetery chilling” while seated with the singer inside a car, prompting widespread online outrage. Netizens accused him of insensitivity and lack of respect for the solemn occasion. Comments ranged from calls for more discretion in public speech to criticism of his behaviour at a funeral. At the ceremony, Davido delivered an emotional eulogy, recalling Tiny’s lively personality and the bond they shared. Reports say Tiny suffered a fatal heart attack in March, and his passing has deeply affected those close to him.
