Controversial Nigerian content creator and TikTok personality, Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, has stirred reactions on social media after changing his Instagram profile picture to that of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, barely 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 further posted videos showing Seyi Tinubu dancing at an event and another featuring him with his wife.

The posts came less than 24 hours after the content creator publicly expressed gratitude to Seyi Tinubu following his release from custody.

In a video announcing his freedom, 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 released after fulfilling the bail conditions imposed by a Magistrate Court sitting in the Ogba area of Lagos State.

Human rights activist and Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, also confirmed his release on X, stating that the content creator had reunited with his family, friends and loved ones.

The social media personality 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 Tinubu.

The charges stemmed from a viral video in which he allegedly claimed that President Bola Tinubu would not win re-election in 2027 and was accused of threatening the President’s son.

Following public criticism, DJ Chicken later retracted the remarks, insisting they were made as a joke intended to attract attention and increase his online popularity.

Despite the apology, he was arrested, arraigned and granted N1 million bail with two sureties in like sum.

The case has been adjourned until August 3, 2026.
