Popular Nigerian singer D’Banj has sparked controversy after a video of him prostrating before Pastor Jerry Eze during a surprise visit for the pastor’s 42nd birthday surfaced online.
The gesture, intended as a sign of respect, has sparked heated discussions on social media, with many fans and critics weighing in.
During his visit, the 44-year-old singer was seen bowing, holding Pastor Eze’s hands, and offering a prayer of blessing.
While some viewed the act as a touching display of humility, others criticized the singer, arguing that it was unnecessary for a public figure of his stature.
The backlash has been swift, with numerous comments flooding social media platforms, questioning D’Banj’s actions and expressing disappointment.
Despite the criticism, some supporters have defended the singer, praising him for respecting religious leaders and showing reverence.
