Popular Nigerian billionaire’s son and reality TV star, Kiddwaya, has shown support for celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest, after the latter was criticised online.
The businessman was dragged on social media for kneeling before Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, and later doing the same when he met President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Many Nigerians on social media didn’t like the act and felt it was unnecessary. They called him out for what they believed was an act of submission. Some even mocked him, saying it showed desperation. But Kiddwaya doesn’t agree with them.
The Big Brother Naija star took to Instagram to praise Cubana Chief Priest for achieving what many only dream of — meeting the president of the country.
“It’s Not Easy to Meet a President” – Kiddwaya

This message quickly caught the attention of fans and followers online. While some agreed with him, others still had their doubts.
Netizens React to the Kneeling Incident

Kiddwaya and Cubana Chief Priest Stay Positive
