Mofe Duncan Responds to Daddy Freeze’s Comments on Alex Ekubo Tribute
Nollywood actor Mofe Duncan has criticized media personality Daddy Freeze for his remarks concerning Alex Ekubo’s tribute service.
In an extensive Instagram post, Duncan emphasized that the evening was dedicated solely to Alex Ekubo, not to any outside commentator.
He explained that although he usually avoids unrelated issues, he felt compelled to address what he viewed as a serious misstep.
Duncan clarified that the gathering was a night of tributes and a service of songs, not a funeral.
He noted that hymns were sung multiple times, recalling an especially moving rendition of “Blessed Assurance.”
He added that hymns are not exclusive to Catholic or Anglican traditions and questioned assumptions about Ekubo’s religious affiliation.
According to Duncan, the event also served as a night of worship, with members of Ekubo’s inner circle repeatedly stating that the late actor loved to worship.
He argued that a worship concert aligned with what Ekubo would have desired.
Duncan further pointed out that Daddy Freeze did not follow the event’s all‑white dress code, appearing in black attire.
He concluded that the tribute was not about personal preferences or opinions, expressing hope that his response would clarify why the comments were inappropriate.
Duncan wrote: “With all due respect Sir… the night wasn’t about You or anyone else but ALEXX. I’m a very objective person and I don’t put mouth in matters that don’t concern me, neither do I lend energy to things I have no power over, the PRAYER OF SERENITY resonates with me on a daily, but as I’ve gotten older, I deeply struggle with the urge to want to EDUCATE people who step gravely out of line, and Bros… you stepped GRAVELY out of line.”
“My 2 cents: 1. It was NOT a FUNERAL, it was a NIGHT OF TRIBUTES & A SERVICE OF SONGS.”
“2. HYMNS were sang Sir. Not once… Not Twice. I’m guessing you didn’t arrive early because I personally cried during the rendition of BLESSED ASSURANCE. And I believe Hymns are predominantly synonymous with the Catholic Church and other closely related denominations. Was Alexx a Catholic or an Anglican or a Baptist? I’m just asking.”
“3. It was a NIGHT OF WORSHIP, because if you were listening or paying attention and not caught up with your desire to want to observe and rush back online to report things you had issues with, you would’ve heard when members of ALEXX’s inner circle reiterated countless times that ALEXX LOVED TO WORSHIP. So a “concert” of worship, as you expressed, is exactly what ALEXX would’ve wanted.”
“4. You shouldn’t even have the temerity to voice your opinion because, for starters, you didn’t adhere to the dress code. You wore BLACK to an ALL WHITE celebration of ALEXX’s life, but each to their own; let’s leave that for a second cause you may actually have a good reason for your choice of outfit. Or maybe you actually thought it was a FUNERAL. I’m objective.”
“And lastly, the audacity to come online and say you were angry and you left. May people not walkout on your own night of tributes. This last point is what destroyed my will to resist the urge to ignore your actions and opt to want to EDUCATE you on why you should never have come online to whine and whinge and stain ALEXX’s glorious immortalization. With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to EDUCATE as well as CONVINCE you and not CONFUSE you that you stepped GRAVELY out of line and the night was not about you or your wants, needs or your opinion.”
