Nollywood actor Deyemi Okanlawon stirred up a whirlwind of criticism among netizens with his sharp-witted retort aimed at colleague Kunle Remi’s jabs, both delving into the playful realm of music sensation Davido and Chioma’s “Chivido” wedding.

On Tuesday, June 25, Nigeria came to a standstill as Davido and Chioma’s much-anticipated wedding unfolded in grandeur.

The star-studded affair was a spectacle of opulence, with high-profile dignitaries and A-list celebrities from across the country gracing the occasion.

Kunle Remi, seizing the Chivido frenzy, playfully engaged in his typical banter with Deyemi by sharing a cheeky Instagram post.

He uploaded a mock-tearful photo of his colleague, accompanied by a cleverly edited voice-over where Kunle humorously laments Deyemi missing the epic Chivido wedding, despite allegedly preparing intensely for the occasion.

In a daring move to one-up Kunle Remi, Deyemi took their playful rivalry to the next level. He cunningly sourced two of Davido and Chioma’s famed pre-wedding photos, deftly replacing the couple’s heads with those of Kunle and his “Anikulapo” love interest, Bimbo Ademoye.

Fueling the fire, Deyemi then launched a provocative poll on social media, challenging followers to choose between the extravagant Chivido wedding and the whimsical union of “Anikulapo” Kunle and Bimbo.

However, Deyemi’s bold comeback didn’t sit well with some fans who felt it crossed a line, especially given Kunle Remi’s recent marriage to Tiwi.

They viewed the playful swap of heads with Bimbo Ademoye as husband and wife in place of Davido and Chioma as disrespectful and called for respecting personal boundaries.
