Nigerian comedian Aderombi Adedayo Martin, aka Deeone, has reacted to Obi Cubana’s next-of-kin drama with his adopted son.
Recall that on April 22, 2025, social media buzzed after Obi Cubana’s adopted son, Chidi, took to TikTok to call himself the next of kin while jumping on a popular online challenge. However, the businessman reacted by posting a photo of himself with his son and clarifying who his real next of kin is.
This move from Obi Cubana caused online drama with many people blasting the billionaire businessman for not loving his adopted son like his own. This triggered Deeone to share his take on the matter.

According to the ex-BBNaija star, the people criticising Obi Cubana are not married. He added that no woman would accept such a statement from her adopted son especially if he has her own children.
Deeone further stated that he was in agreement with how Obi Cubana handled the situation because the adopted son is already privileged to be associated with their family and should not be focused on who the next of kin should be.
Deeone also warned against people on social media polluting the mind of Obi Cubana’s foster son by creating animosity between them.
In his words:
“All of you criticizing Obi Cubana, you’re not married, that's why you’re talking. If you’re married, your wife will never, no woman in this life will ever take that kind of statement lightly, Obi Cubana’s adopted son talking about him being next of kin na nonsense to most women, no woman go take am and na his wife go tell am ‘go clear this thing for the same online if you want peace to reign’. What will you do as a man? What is the business of your adopted son being focused on him being next of kin? You will be surprised wetin these Gen Z people know, dem sabi pass Instablog, their eyes too tear. He did the right thing as far as I’m concerned. The boy already has a privilege that most people are praying for, they’ve taken him as a son. Which one come be say you dey look his property, that means you dey wish am say e go comot on time nau, the man is just 50, you don dey pronounce yourself as next of kin, what does that mean? Focus on the opportunities that are on ground. And for those of you that are saying Obi Cubana humiliated the boy, na nonsense talk una dey talk, make una no pollute the boy’s mind. Him sef dey see all those comments, dey get animosity. You’re already privileged to be in that home and to be affiliated with that family, so don’t misuse it. Moreso the wife has a son and this adopted son e senior the real son, him eye don dey chook. Make una dey realistic, but I don’t blame you, you guys are not married, so you won’t understand. Ask a married woman, she will tell you she cannot take it because she sef get her own pikin.”

You read the room before you know the kind joke wey you go dey make or content wey u go dey make…..and people that are saying how should the adopted son feel after what Obi Cubana wrote on his page, adopted son wey no give himself sense, make hin accept the consequences of his actions. #shikena.”
