Media personality Daddy Freeze has criticised Nollywood actor Yul Edochie over his comments on broadcaster Roby Ekpo, whose emotional podcast appearance has sparked widespread debate online.
The controversy began after Ekpo appeared on a podcast where he spoke candidly about the breakdown of his marriage, becoming visibly emotional during the discussion. The moment quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions across social media, with some expressing sympathy while others questioned his public display of emotion.
Reacting to the video, Edochie took to X to criticise Ekpo, arguing that while discussing personal struggles is acceptable, men should not openly cry over relationship issues. He further suggested that Ekpo should consider marrying multiple women and having children with them simultaneously, a comment that triggered significant backlash.

In a swift response, Daddy Freeze released a video challenging Edochie’s position, questioning both the logic and practicality of his remarks. He described the suggestion as unrealistic and disconnected from the emotional realities faced by individuals dealing with personal crises.
He argued that dismissing emotional expression, particularly during difficult life moments, reflects a flawed understanding of human behaviour and relationships. His remarks have since resonated with many online users, further fueling conversations around masculinity, emotional vulnerability, and societal expectations.
The exchange has added to an ongoing public discourse on how men navigate emotional challenges in the digital age, with opinions sharply divided over whether vulnerability should be embraced or restrained.
