Lush Eby, wife of Nigerian business mogul and socialite Obi Cubana, has addressed the growing controversy surrounding her family’s next-of-kin saga though not in the way many expected.
The buzz began after Obi Cubana’s adopted son stirred social media with a viral TikTok video, declaring himself the next of kin. In response, Obi Cubana made a public clarification, naming his biological son, Alex Iyiegma, as his rightful next of kin an announcement that only intensified the speculation and reactions online.
While staying largely quiet on the matter, Lush Eby subtly responded via an Instagram post, sharing her reflections on the nature of social media:
“Social media is that space where people expose the most intimate parts of their lives… and strangers feel entitled to dissect it all.”
Without directly addressing the controversy, she seemed to comment on how quickly personal matters become public debates. She ended on a personal note, stating that she’s still in high spirits celebrating her husband’s 50th birthday, calling April a month “dedicated to him,” and sweetly referring to Obi Cubana as “babe.”

Her calm and thoughtful tone appears to be a contrast to the heated online discourse, giving fans and followers a glimpse into how the family may be choosing to navigate the public storm by focusing on unity and celebration behind the scenes.
