The memorial gathering attracted a large number of celebrities, religious leaders and gospel musicians who came to pay tribute to the late actor.
Among those present were prominent Nollywood figures, pastors, entertainers and several gospel music ministers who performed during the event.
The ceremony was held in Lagos ahead of Ekubo’s burial.
Why Daddy Freeze Left
According to Daddy Freeze, he decided to leave while the programme was still ongoing because he felt the atmosphere became too energetic for a funeral gathering.
He expressed the opinion that memorial events should feature softer and more reflective music that allows attendees to mourn and remember the deceased.
The broadcaster suggested that traditional hymns and slower worship songs would have been more appropriate for the occasion.
Comments on Gospel Performances
Daddy Freeze specifically referenced one of the gospel performances during the event, saying the atmosphere shifted from a solemn remembrance service to what he viewed as a concert-like setting.
He questioned whether more subdued songs could have been used during the programme.
His remarks have sparked debate online, with some agreeing that funeral services should maintain a reflective tone, while others argued that celebrations of life can include uplifting music.
Reactions Trail Remarks
Following the comments, social media users expressed differing opinions.
Some supporters agreed with Daddy Freeze’s perspective on funeral traditions and memorial etiquette.
Others defended the style of worship and performances at the event, noting that many Christian services celebrate life, faith and hope rather than focusing solely on mourning.
