Nigerian socialite and entrepreneur, Obinna Oyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has seemingly reacted to a recent claim made by his adopted first son, Chidi, on TikTok. Chidi had posted a video playfully stating that he had just realized he is the billionaire's next of kin.

The video, captioned, "Nothing do my shoulder, I just realize say I be next of kin," quickly gained traction and sparked online discussion.

In what appeared to be a direct response, Obi Cubana took to his Instagram account to share a photo of himself alongside his biological son, Alex. The accompanying caption read, "Ancient and modern, eyes on the ball. @dtwalx aka next of kin."

Alex, whose Instagram handle is @dtwalx, engaged with his father's post in the comments section, writing, "Using my headphones right now." Obi Cubana replied to his biological son, affirming his status with, "Correct boy, original next-of-kin."

Obi Cubana's public response has ignited a wave of mixed reactions online. Many users have criticized the businessman for addressing what they perceived as a family matter on social media rather than resolving it privately.

One X user, @Abazwhyllzz, commented, "Unnecessary. He should have told the guy to delete on TikTok,then solved it internally instead of coming to post sha. I be poor man make I mind my business."

Another user, @Soyecatherings, expressed concern about the implications of Chidi's statement, writing, "I don’t think he thought of the consequences in the long run. This wasn’t the best way to address it sha. But even thinking about being the next of kin now simply means obi has to be unalive or old enough to not be able to run things."

However, some users defended Chidi's initial video as harmless. @Gladys_Onyetem wrote, "A child that was jst doing a harmless video, una don reason plenty things put, na wah for una ooo… Una even Dey say na adopted child, I thought that’s his brothers child? Una don project una wicked family negativity on this innocent video…. Una go Dey find village ppl, na una…"

Another user, @DemoOfUK, offered a more critical perspective on Chidi's claim, stating, "Nawa o. They say make you come chop, you carry long spoon come. Adopted why you wan dey claim omo onile for another person land."

The exchange highlights the complexities and public scrutiny that often accompany the lives of prominent figures and their families in the age of social media. While Chidi's initial post may have been intended humorously, Obi Cubana's response has turned the matter into a subject of public debate regarding family dynamics and the appropriate use of social media platforms.
