Moments later, Obi Cubana posted himself and his biological son with caption "Next-of-kin!" pic.twitter.com/wLtNIYL832
The clip quickly gained attention, stirring confusion and online debates over the true identity of the businessman’s heir.
Taking to his verified Instagram page, Obi Cubana set the record straight by posting a photo of his biological first son, captioning it:
“Ancient and modern eyes on the ball! @dtwalx aka Next-of-kin!”
His clarification drew mixed reactions online. While some applauded him for clearing the air, others criticized the move as unnecessary and potentially hurtful.
Here’s what some Nigerians had to say:
- @ceo_onyi: “Glad you set the records straight, na from clap crase dey start. Somethings shouldn’t be joked about.”
- @mabeldignity: “Isn’t the other one his son too? Whether biological or adopted?”
- @realeniolammy: “That boy was just vibing on TikTok. Now he’ll probably feel slighted.”
- @donmoremoney.fx: “This is really petty.”
- @boshbaby: “You once called him next of kin, that was enough. Now this?”
- @charming_ebony: “He never mentioned Obi’s name as his father. So where is the debunking coming from?”
While it appears the original video may have been made in jest, Obi Cubana’s post has officially confirmed his first son as his rightful heir, putting to rest the swirling online debate or perhaps igniting a new one.
