Mixed reactions as Daddy Freeze, popular Nigerian pastor share warm moment at Obi Cubana’s birthday party

A surprising moment between controversial media personality Daddy Freeze and popular preacher Pastor Jerry Eze has sent the social media abuzz after the two were seen laughing and shaking hands at Obi Cubana’s birthday celebration—despite their rocky history on social media.

The unexpected interaction came as a shock to many who recalled Daddy Freeze’s previous jabs at the fiery prayer leader. Just last year, Daddy Freeze openly mocked Pastor Jerry Eze over his widely publicized UK miracle crusade, casting doubts on the authenticity of the event and stirring controversy among the pastor’s supporters.

Given the public exchange, many had assumed there was tension—or even animosity—between the pair. However, their warm exchange at the high-profile birthday party told a different story.

In a now-viral video, both men were seen laughing heartily and engaging like old friends, shaking hands in a moment that has left netizens divided.

While some applauded the show of maturity, noting that real life often plays out differently from social media drama, others expressed disappointment, questioning the sincerity of online criticisms when public interactions suggest otherwise.
