Controversial Nigerian content creator, Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, has sparked reactions on social media after changing his Instagram profile picture to that of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, a day after regaining his freedom.
DJ Chicken, who was released from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre on Tuesday after meeting his bail conditions, also shared a photo of Seyi Tinubu on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday with the caption, “Hmm ddddy.”

He also posted videos of Seyi Tinubu dancing at an event and another showing Seyi with his wife.
The social media posts came less than 24 hours after the content creator publicly thanked Seyi Tinubu following his release.
In a video announcing his freedom on Tuesday, DJ Chicken, who appeared alongside his lawyer, said, “I’m back oo, freedom at last.
“God bless the Nigerian government, God bless Seyi Tinubu, and our president. I love you guys. It is not easy, my fans. People that are free don’t know what God has done for them. Freedom is good.”
DJ Chicken was remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre after being arraigned on a three-count charge bordering on alleged violations of the Cybercrimes Act, breach of peace and making alleged threats to kill Seyi.
The charges stemmed from a viral video in which he allegedly claimed that President Tinubu would not win re-election in 2027 and was accused of threatening the President’s son.
Following public backlash, the content creator retracted the remarks, insisting they were intended as a joke to attract attention and boost his online popularity.
Despite the apology, he was arrested, arraigned and granted bail of N1 million with two sureties in like sum.
The case was adjourned until August 3, 2026 for next hearing.
