The controversy surrounding Chidi, the adopted son of Nigerian billionaire businessman Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has taken a dramatic turn. Chidi has deleted the video that sparked the backlash, in which he claimed to be Obi Cubana’s next of kin.
The video had generated intense mixed reactions on social media, with many questioning Chidi’s intentions and accusing him of trying to seek attention or validation.
In response to the viral video, Obi Cubana posted a picture with his biological first son, Alex, on his official Instagram page, explicitly stating that Alex is his rightful next of kin. The post was seen as a public clarification by Obi Cubana, aimed at setting the record straight and quelling any speculation or misinformation.

Some critics felt that Obi Cubana’s public response was necessary to correct Chidi’s claim, while others believed that it was an overreaction that only fueled the controversy.
