Daddy Freeze, a social commentator and media personality from Nigeria, has caused controversy on the internet by cautioning men about their wives’ close friendships with other men.
He said this in response to rumors that Pastor Jimmy Odukoya had wed Mo Jasmine, his former best friend.
Many people on social media have expressed surprise at the reported marriage, which has sparked extensive conversations. After an old photo of Jimmy Odukoya working as a groomsman at Mo Jasmine’s first wedding appeared online, the conversation attracted even more attention.
In response, Daddy Freeze questioned the notion of married women having male best friends in an Instagram video.
Speaking humorously, he said:
“It’s okay to have a male bestie, it is okay to have a male bestie, hmmm. Male bestie wey be pastor don marry auntie oo.”
Daddy Freeze went further to advise men to pay attention to their wives’ close male friendships, joking that they should start creating distance between such friends and their marriages.
He added:
“Male bestie na groomsman for their wedding ooo. See, if your wife has a male bestie, drive them now. Start picking your phone and start driving all your wives’ and girlfriends’ male besties. Pastor don marry bestie ooo.
“It’s sweet now because the pastor is fine and the bestie is fine. The day they will collect your own wife, no con cry meet me inside DM oo. I have spoken.”
In the end, every marriage needs healthy boundaries. A wife doesn’t have to be especially close to her husband’s male friends, just as he should respect boundaries with her friends. What matters most is mutual trust, respect, and openness—not suspicion or control.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
