However, this isn't the first time the DJ has had an encounter with the police. In 2023 DJ Chicken trended online after reports that he was arrested for engaging in a hit-and-run car accident in Lagos went viral.

According to reports by the famous Instagram news platform, Instablog9ja, DJ Chicken was allegedly arrested in the early hours of Tuesday, May 2, 2023, after he hit a Lekki resident's car at Lakowe on Monday night, May 1, 2023.

It was said that Chicken, after hitting another road user's car, somehow managed to flee the accident scene.

Also, Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky stirred a debate with a viral video of him fuming on social media because of the DJ.

Reports claimed that the socialite got DJ Chicken arrested in the clip, and there was chaos in the background, presumably police whisking him away.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that fans of Nigerian singer Speed Darlington were rejoicing that their fave had been set free after spending two months in detention.

Speed Darlington was initially arrested in October 2024 over allegations of defamation and cyberstalking Burna Boy.

However, many weeks flew by and he remained in custody as all efforts by his lawyers to get him out proved futile.
