(In Nigeria) Frank Edoho’s Epic Clapback at Daniel Regha Ignites Debate Over Adekunle Gold’s Ballon d’Or Outfit

 

Nigerian social media is buzzing after Daniel Regha, a popular commentator, criticized singer Adekunle Gold’s outfit at the 2025 Ballon d’Or, held on October 28 in Paris. Regha argued that Gold missed an opportunity to promote African heritage, suggesting a culturally inspired look or a suit made from native fabric. The critique sparked a fiery response from TV host Frank Edoho, who mocked Regha’s own fashion choices, likening his style to “a lost Eskimo in an IKEA duvet advert.”
