Popular and controversial TikToker, DJ Chicken, whose real name is Ademola Abiodun, has triggered another wave of online backlash after retracting his earlier verbal attack on Nigerian rap legend, Olamide.
DJ Chicken had previously stunned fans during a livestream where he launched into a vulgar tirade, insulting Olamide despite reportedly receiving N8.1 million from the YBNL boss just two months earlier. In the now-viral clip, DJ Chicken dismissed the generous act, calling Olamide an “unfortunate fellow” and describing the money as “too small,” adding that he had already spent it on “flexing and enjoyment.”
He had said bluntly:
“Olamide didn’t help me in any way. If anything, I helped him.”
However, in a recent development, DJ Chicken has tried to clear the air, saying the comments were taken out of context and insisting it was all part of a failed publicity strategy. In another livestream, he denied ever insulting the music star and offered a different explanation.
In his words:
“I did not curse Olamide, I only made reference to the N8 million he gave me. Are you guys stupid? I was just trying to promote Olamide’s new album.”
The statement has stirred mixed reactions online, with some dismissing it as damage control and others questioning the motive behind the stunt.
