Nigerian street entertainer and TikTok sensation, DJ Chicken, has become the subject of public controversy following an accident and subsequent street altercation in Sagamu, Ogun State. The incident, which occurred earlier this week, has gone viral across social media platforms after videos surfaced showing the entertainer being confronted and assaulted by a group of young men. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
According to eyewitness reports, the trouble started after DJ Chicken was allegedly involved in a car crash that left a motorcycle rider and his female passenger injured. The entertainer, who is known for his flamboyant personality and controversial online remarks, was said to be driving through a busy part of Sagamu when the collision happened. The motorcycle rider was reportedly knocked to the ground, while the woman sustained visible injuries and was seen groaning in pain as passersby gathered at the scene.
A popular X (formerly Twitter) influencer identified as Oyindamola shared footage of the aftermath, showing DJ Chicken attempting to speak to the injured woman while urging her to stand up. The clip, which has been widely circulated online, drew sharp criticism from viewers who accused the DJ of insensitivity toward the victims. The situation soon escalated when local youths intervened, accusing the entertainer of reckless driving and arrogance. In another video that surfaced online, a group of street boys could be seen ordering DJ Chicken to sit on the ground. When he initially refused, one of the men slapped him, prompting him to comply. The moment, captured on several mobile phones, quickly went viral, attracting widespread commentary from Nigerians across different social media platforms.
The videos have since generated heated debate, with many expressing outrage over both the accident and the violent reaction that followed. While some Nigerians condemned DJ Chicken’s attitude and previous controversial behavior, others faulted the actions of the street boys who took matters into their own hands instead of reporting the incident to the police. Many users have also called for an investigation into the condition of the motorcycle rider and his passenger, whose identities remain unknown at the time of filing this report.
As of press time, DJ Chicken has not issued any official statement regarding the incident. Calls and messages sent to his known social media handles have gone unanswered. The Ogun State Police Command has also yet to release any official comment, though unconfirmed reports suggest that the matter has attracted the attention of local law enforcement in Sagamu.
This is not the first time DJ Chicken has been at the center of public controversy. Over the years, he has built a reputation for courting drama and making provocative comments about fellow entertainers. Earlier this year, he drew widespread criticism after making lewd remarks about award-winning singer Davido and his wife, Chioma. In the viral clip, DJ Chicken boasted about engaging in an intimate relationship with Chioma and even claimed he would impregnate her, statements that sparked outrage from fans and entertainment observers. He has also had online disagreements with other popular figures, including Wizkid, further fueling his notoriety as one of Nigeria’s most polarizing social media personalities.
The recent incident in Ogun State has once again raised concerns about the reckless behavior of some internet influencers and the potential consequences of their actions. Observers have described it as another reminder that fame on social media often comes with responsibility — a lesson many public figures appear to overlook. Legal analysts have also pointed out that if investigations confirm the details of the accident, DJ Chicken could face charges of reckless or dangerous driving, depending on the outcome of police inquiries.
As Nigerians continue to debate the incident, one thing remains clear: DJ Chicken’s controversial reputation has once again landed him in the spotlight, this time for reasons that may have lasting implications. The viral footage from Sagamu has added another layer to the ongoing conversation about celebrity conduct, accountability, and the dangers of online fame spilling into real-life drama. For now, the public waits for official confirmation on the state of the victims and whether the entertainer will face any legal action in connection with the crash.
