Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has come under fire over his insensitive statement at the funeral of Davido’s friend, Denis Ukonho, better known as Ego or Tiny.
Kemi Filani reported that on Friday, May 29, 2026, a funeral service was held for the late Ego.
In a clip from the funeral, Cubana was seen in a car with Davido and UK Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, when someone whose face wasn’t shown walked up to Cubana with a camera on him.
Chief Priest said they were cemetery chilling.
“Hey, men, outside, cemetery chilling”, Cubana said.
His statement didn’t sit well with netizens, who dragged him.

At the funeral, giving a speech about the deceased, the DMW label boss stated that it was not easy when someone like Tiny passed away, adding that his absence would be deeply felt because of the kind of personality he had. According to Davido, Tiny was full of energy and presence. He also said he never thought he would speak about Tiny in the past tense.
