Obi Cubana’s Adopted Son Chidi Deletes Controversial ‘Next Of Kin’ Video Amid Backlash

Chidi, the adopted son of Nigerian billionaire Obinna Iyiegbu—widely known as Obi Cubana—has made notable changes to his TikTok activity following a wave of mixed reactions to his recent viral video.

The controversy began when Chidi posted a video on TikTok, suggesting he was the official next of kin to Obi Cubana. The post quickly gained traction online, stirring discussions and confusion across social media platforms.

In what appeared to be a direct response, Obi Cubana shared a photo on Instagram featuring his biological first son, Alex. In the caption, he made it clear that Alex is his legitimate next of kin. This public statement triggered divided opinions among social media users. While some applauded Obi Cubana for setting the record straight, others felt he should have addressed the matter privately, arguing that the online clarification was unnecessary.

In the midst of the backlash, Chidi removed the controversial video and restricted comments on his TikTok page. His most recent video now features highlights from Obi Cubana’s 50th birthday celebration.

On Instagram, Chidi also shared a post accompanied only by a pleading hands emoji—suggesting a tone of apology or reflection.
