Daddy Freeze, a well-known Nigerian media personality, recently shared how his life changed completely after he spoke out against popular pastors in Nigeria. He explained that the moment he started criticizing certain religious leaders, he lost all his business opportunities.
During a conversation with businessman Stephen Akintayo, Freeze opened up about how deeply his decision affected him. He said it wasn’t an easy choice, but he felt it was something he needed to do. Unfortunately, the consequences were bigger than he expected.
He explained that after speaking against some pastors, people stopped supporting his work. Clients pulled away from him, and his income disappeared. According to him, he didn’t just lose some business—he lost everything. “I lost 100% of my business,” he said with regret.
He admitted that taking a stand on religious issues came with a high price. He wanted to speak up about things he didn’t agree with in churches, but doing that turned out to be very costly for him, both personally and professionally.
Freeze also spoke about a sad experience involving a young Muslim man who was treated unfairly because of his religion. He said the man went for a job interview, but the employer turned him down simply because he was Muslim.
He shared that the man was still standing at the gate when the building he was trying to work in collapsed. Freeze had seen the video of the incident and said it was heartbreaking to watch. The story made him reflect deeply on how much discrimination exists in Nigeria.
He pointed out that in Nigeria, Christians often don’t want to work with Muslims, but Muslims are usually more willing to work with Christians. He said this kind of attitude is part of the country’s problem and needs to change if people are to live together peacefully.
Freeze also talked about his personal life, especially the controversy surrounding his divorce. His ex-wife had accused him of domestic violence, and the story followed him for many years. It damaged his public image and made life even harder.
For the first time, he admitted that he and his ex-wife used to argue a lot, and those fights sometimes got physical. He didn’t try to make excuses but instead accepted that there were problems in the marriage on both sides.
He also explained how hard it is to get a divorce in Nigeria without being seen as a bad person. People rarely believe that a marriage can simply end without drama or violence. They often think something terrible must have happened.
Freeze said that unless you are labeled as the villain, people won’t accept the idea of divorce. In his words, “You must be a monster.” He used this phrase to show how hard it is for people in Nigeria to accept a peaceful separation between a husband and wife.
