Daddy Freeze Fires Back at Jesse Jagz Over Drug Abuse Advice Clash

Popular Nigerian media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, widely known as Daddy Freeze, has responded to rapper Jesse Jagz following the artist’s controversial reply to his advice on drug abuse among youths.

Earlier this week, Daddy Freeze took to social media to express his concern over the rising trend of hard drug use among Nigerian youths. He urged young people to steer clear of substances that could impair their judgment and alter their minds.

However, Jesse Jagz did not take the advice lightly. In a post directed at Daddy Freeze, the rapper used an insulting term, writing, “Good morning sir, with all due respect sir, your papa y*nsh.”

Reacting to Jesse Jagz’s remark, Daddy Freeze revealed that the rapper had previously contacted him via direct messages, requesting to appear on a livestream. He added that during the session, Jesse Jagz was not fully coherent and struggled to maintain the conversation. Freeze expressed genuine concern for the rapper’s well-being, stating, “There are people who left the livestream because of the delirious state you were, Jesse, you need help.” He even suggested that Jesse Jagz requires support more urgently than fellow musician Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face.

Opinion:
While the exchange may appear entertaining to some, it highlights a deeper issue that cannot be ignored. Drug abuse among youths and even public figures is a serious concern that demands empathy, intervention, and open conversation rather than ridicule. Daddy Freeze’s stance reflects a responsible approach—raising awareness while addressing the problem with concern rather than confrontation. Jesse Jagz’s reaction, on the other hand, underscores the challenges many face in acknowledging help and advice. Perhaps this public spat can serve as a reminder that fame does not exempt anyone from vulnerability, and the conversation around mental health and substance abuse should be ongoing and compassionate.
