Popular Nigerian comedian and reality TV star DeeOne has harshly criticized gospel singer Yinka Alaseyori for backing down from her earlier statements about national security. The controversy began when Alaseyori, during a live prayer session, encouraged Nigerians to pray for President Bola Tinubu and security forces, claiming the government was tackling insecurity. This sparked outrage amid the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State. She later issued a public apology via a video. DeeOne, however, insisted she had nothing to apologize for. He argued that Alaseyori spoke under divine inspiration and that her apology was driven by public pressure, not genuine conviction. He accused her of choosing to displease God in order to please people. DeeOne urged her to never repeat such a mistake and warned of spiritual consequences. He emphasized that as a minister of God, she should rely on divine guidance rather than public opinion. The comedian also referenced biblical principles, noting that she missed an opportunity to evangelize through her boldness. The full video of his rebuke has been widely shared online.
