The viral nature of the video and Opeyemi’s provocative statement have fueled ongoing debates, with supporters defending his flamboyant personality as part of his brand, while detractors continue to call out what they see as excessive bravado. This incident has cemented Opeyemi as a polarizing figure in Nigeria’s online space, with discussions about his persona showing no signs of slowing down.
