“People are grieving, you are flaunting your Rolls Royce” – Clinton blasted the Cuban high priest
- Comedian Klintoncod criticized Cuba’s high priest for a video allegedly showing luxury cars, a private jet and an extravagant lifestyle during Alexx Ekubo’s funeral activities.
- While some social media users agreed that the announcement was poorly timed, others came to the defense of Cuba’s high priest, arguing that everyone grieves and celebrates life in a different way.
Nigerian comedian Klintoncod has sparked debate on social media after he called out the Cuban nightlife entrepreneur head priest over a video shared during the funeral activities of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo.
In a viral video posted on X, Clintoncod expressed his disappointment at what he described as a callous display of luxury at a time when family, friends and colleagues were mourning the late actor.
According to the comedian, the businessman missed the opportunity to show empathy and instead focused on flaunting his wealth and extravagant lifestyle.
“This might be the most insensitive video I’ve ever made, but I have to say it. We just lost Alexx Ekubo, a talented actor, and people are grieving. The only video you can put out is your Rolls Royce, G-Wagon, private jet, food and lifestyle.”
Klintoncod further asked why none of the associates of the Cuban high priest advised against sharing such content during the festive occasion.
The comedian asserted that there is a time to celebrate and a time to mourn, stressing that funeral ceremonies should not be turned into opportunities to chase influence or validation on social media.
He also expressed concern about public figures reacting positively to the post, saying it made him think about the type of people surrounding the famous businessman.
The comments have since drawn mixed reactions online, with some social media users agreeing that the timing of the video was inappropriate, while others defended Cuba’s high priest, insisting that people experience grief differently and should not be judged for how they choose to honor a loved one.
