Obi Cubana, a well-known businessman, is currently facing criticism on social media over an issue involving his next-of-kin.

The controversy began when his adopted son, Chidi, shared a video on TikTok jokingly claiming that he was the next of kin, with the caption, “Nothing do my shoulder, I just realise say I be next of kin.”

In response to this post, Cubana took to Instagram, sharing a picture of his biological son, Alex, without directly commenting on Chidi’s video. This led to mixed reactions online.

Some, including social media influencer Solomon Buchi, criticized Cubana for handling the situation publicly. They argued that he should have spoken to Chidi privately and asked him to remove the video, rather than correcting the impression so openly.

Amid the backlash, Ebele Iyiegbu, Obi Cubana’s wife, seemingly responded to the drama. She took to social media, expressing her thoughts on how people often act like they know your life story just because they follow you online.

This appears to be a subtle comment on how public opinions can sometimes misinterpret personal matters.

The saga continues to unfold, with many questioning how the situation was managed and whether it should have been handled differently.

Seemingly responding to the critics, Ebele, via her Instagram page this afternoon, wrote;

‘’Only on social media do you encounter people sharing your life story as if they know you personally.

Only here will you learn about your own history from strangers who’ve never even met you.

And only on social media will you see people blaming wives and mothers because of their own misguided thoughts and evil ideas… because that’s who they are.

Hmmm…

Anyways, I’m still soaking in the celebration of the #50for50 birthday party for Okpataozueora!

Like I said before, the entire month of April is dedicated to you, babe.”
