Obi Cubana clears the air on his true Next-of-Kin after viral TikTok video

Popular Nigerian businessman and nightlife mogul, Obi Cubana, has publicly addressed a trending video involving his alleged adopted son, who had jokingly declared himself as the family’s next-of-kin.

The young man, in a now-viral TikTok video, was seen raising his shoulders confidently with a caption that read: “Nothing do my shoulder.”

“I just realize say I be next of kin.”

The post stirred conversations online, prompting reactions from followers who questioned the propriety of the statement.

Some argued that such matters shouldn’t be joked about, while others defended it as harmless social media fun.

In response, Obi Cubana took to his official Instagram page to clear the air by sharing a photo of his biological first son, referring to him as his rightful next-of-kin.

The caption read:

“Ancient and modern eyes on the ball! @dtwalx aka Next-of-kin!”

The post sparked fresh reactions from social media users.

While some praised the businessman for setting the record straight, others felt it was unnecessary, stating that it could strain the relationship between the young man in the video and the family.

A user, @ceo_onyi, commented:

“Glad you set the records straight, na from clap crase dey start. Some things shouldn’t be joked about before person begin dey swear to God.”

However, others questioned whether it mattered if the boy was adopted or biological, noting that family titles should be treated with unity and caution.
