Businessman, Obi Cubana, has responded to his adopted son, Chidi?s claim of being his next of kin by sharing a photo with his biological son Alex on Instagram.

Chidi had posted on TikTok with the caption, ?Nothing do my shoulder, I just realise say I be next of kin.?

Reacting subtly to his post, Cubana, on Instagram, posted his biological son, Alex, captioning it ?Ancient and modern, eyes on the ball. @dtwalx aka next of kin.?

He further emphasised Alex?s status as his original next-of-kin in the comment section of another post, writing, ?Correct boy, original next-of-kin.?

The post sparked controversy with many criticising Obi Cubana for airing the issue publicly instead of resolving it privately with Chidi.

Some users felt that Obi Cubana?s response was unnecessary and harsh while others supported his clarification of Alex?s status.

Some critics argued that Obi Cubana should have handled the situation more discreetly, telling Chidi to delete the TikTok video and discussing the matter internally.

One X user @Abazwhyllzz wrote: ?Unnecessary. He should have told the guy to delete on TikTok,then solved it internally instead of coming to post sha. I be poor man make I mind my business.?

Another user @Soyecatherings wrote: ?I don?t think he thought of the consequences in the long run. This wasn?t the best way to address it sha. But even thinking about being the next of kin now simply means obi has to be unalive or old enough to not be able to run things.?

Others defended Chidi, calling him an ?innocent child? who was just making a harmless video.
