Media personality Otunba has lashed out at the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi for exchanging pleasantries at music star, Davido’s wedding.
Kemi Filani reported that the monarch was one of the high profile guest at the traditional wedding of the singer and his beautiful wife, Chioma, which took place at Eko Hotel, Lagos.
A clip of him exchanging pleasantries with some of the guests at the event, made rounds online with Otunba slamming him for exchanging pleasantries like a guy man. He stated that the Monarch didn’t show any sign of royalty as he expressed how much he misses the late Ooni.
“Ooni of Ife is present at Davido’s wedding… exchanging pleasantries like guy man. No shown of royalty !!!
I miss the Late Ooni”.
“Is it possible to recall a king??
I am just asking because this is just a show of shamè from a crowned king!
Kabiyesi is now the one greeting people: He’s even the one going to shake them.
I miss Late Oba Sijuade…
God abeg o”.
In another tweet, he shed light more light on his post after receiving criticisms. He made it known that he wasn’t against the monarch attending Davido’s wedding but exchanging pleasantries like a guy man.
“Ah una don change am o…..
For context I said he was seen exchanging pleasantries like “Guy man” I am not against him attending Davido’s wedding o…..
The king was meant to be seated and all guests paying homage to the Great Orisa!!!!

Months back, the Ooni of Ife, made headlines after a video of him being publicly embarrassed by Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke surfaced online. In the viral clip, the two were at an event when the Ooni stood up to greet the Governor. He stretched his hand to Governor Adeleke who snubbed him to greet others.
The video had left many embarrassed for the monarch, while others defended Adeleke’s action, noting how the King wasn’t supposed to shake hands with anyone.
