For congratulating a friend on her wedding day, Nigerian music act, Lil Kesh, comes under intense attacks.
Singer Keshinro Ololade, popularly known as Lil Kesh, has come under fire on social media following his reaction to the wedding of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo.
Priscilla recently got married to her Tanzanian lover in a colourful traditional ceremony on Thursday and a white wedding on Saturday.
The celebrations were widely talked about online, with photos and videos trending for days.
Joining many well-wishers, Lil Kesh took to X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate the new bride.
However, his message raised eyebrows due to the pet name he used.
“Congratulations, P Coco, God bless your union,” he wrote.
The post didn’t go down well with many users who criticised him for addressing the newly married woman by an old nickname allegedly from their rumoured relationship.
“We don’t care. She’s married. Move on geez,” one person said.
Another wrote, “If u like, don’t wish her, na u sabi? Her home is blessed already; thanks.”
“You no know her name? Which one is the pet name? It’s not needed,” someone else added.
“He should have shut up o bcos we didn’t even know they dated! Werey,” another user commented.
“P Coco toh, you wan just do like say you know am finish,” one person wrote.
“Which one be P Coco? What happened to Mrs Mkambala?” another asked.
Back in 2019, Priscilla was rumoured to be in a romantic relationship with Lil Kesh.
The pair were often seen together at events, exchanged birthday messages on social media and Priscilla even featured in one of his music videos.
However, in an interview with BBC News Pidgin, Priscilla denied ever dating the singer, insisting they were never romantically involved.
