Daddy Freeze Sparks Heated Debate Over DNA Paternity Test Dilemma
By Passman Akpos
Popular Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze, has stirred controversy once again with a thought-provoking question directed at parents and the general public.
Taking to his social media handle, the outspoken broadcaster asked, “If DNA results showed that the child you have been raising for 10 years is NOT yours, would you continue being a father to that child?”
The post, which quickly went viral, ignited a nationwide conversation on social media platforms, with thousands of Nigerians sharing divided opinions on what they would do in such a situation.
While some netizens argued that fatherhood transcends biology and is rooted in love, time, and emotional connection, others maintained that deception in paternity should not be tolerated, and that the truth should set a man free from any further obligation.
A user commented, “After 10 years, that child is already a part of you. You can’t just walk away.” Another replied, “DNA doesn’t lie. Betrayal of this kind can never be overlooked.”
Daddy Freeze, known for his bold takes on religion, relationships, and societal issues, did not directly reveal his personal stance on the question but hinted that the issue exposes the moral and emotional complexity surrounding paternity fraud in Nigeria.
His post comes amid growing reports of DNA-related family disputes in the country, with several public figures calling for mandatory DNA testing at birth to prevent future conflicts.
As the debate rages on, many observers say Daddy Freeze’s question has once again highlighted a sensitive but important topic — the definition of true fatherhood in the modern age.
