“That Night Was Never About You” - Mofe Duncan Blasts Daddy Freeze Over Criticism of Alexx Ekubo’s Service of Songs
Nollywood actor Mofe Duncan has publicly called out media personality Daddy Freeze over his criticism of the service of songs held for late actor Alexx Ekubo.
The controversy surrounding Alexx Ekubo’s service of songs gets heated after actor Mofe Duncan responded to Daddy Freeze’s viral comments about the memorial event.
Daddy Freeze after facing backlash for wearing all black to the event, questioned several aspects of the ceremony. He criticized the all-white dress code, expressed surprise that the gathering featured an extended worship session led by gospel singer Mercy Chinwo, and argued that the programme felt more like a concert than a memorial. He also explained that he wore black because he believed he was attending a mourning event and said he was unaware of the dress code.
Mofe Duncan reacted to the Daddy Freeze in a lengthy Instagram post.
“That night wasn’t about you or anyone else but ALEXX… You stepped gravely out of line.”
According to Duncan, it was Daddy Freeze who misunderstood the purpose of the event from the beginning. He stressed that the gatheringws never meant to be a funeral, but a night of tributes and a service of songs carefully planned to reflect Alexx Ekubo’s personality and spiritual life. Duncan also defended the worship session that Daddy Freeze had criticized. He revealed that people in Alex’s circle repeatedly shared that the late actor deeply loved worship music. Arguing that the extended praise and worship segment was intentional and represented exactly how Alexx would have wanted to be remembered.
“It was a night of worship… Alexx loved to worship. So the ‘concert’ of worship, as you described it, is exactly what Alexx would have wanted.”
According to Duncan, although everyone is entitled to personal opinions, someone who did not comply with one of the family’s requests should have shown greater restraint before publicly condemning the event. He said memorial services should focus on celebrating the deceased not to satisfy the preferences of individual guests.
The exchange has evolved into a broader conversation about funeral etiquette, respecting a family’s wishes, and whether public criticism has a place after a memorial service.
