Regina Daniels Responds to Criticism Over Viral TikTok Video of Ned Nwoko
Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has responded to Nigerians dragging her over a TikTok video featuring her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko, with the controversial soundtrack, “husbands are useless.”
The video, which quickly went viral, sparked criticism from many who deemed her choice of audio “disrespectful” to her husband.
Reacting in a fresh post, Regina appeared amused at the backlash. She urged fans to “chill,” clarifying that it was all part of the trending Mama G challenge on social media.
“Guys, guys, guys, how about now? Why are you attacking me like this? This video, if it wasn't me, it would be normal, you people should talk true. I just wanted to do my Mama G song… All of you take waka!” she wrote playfully.
In the same lighthearted tone, Regina told fans not to “enter her husband’s head,” joking that nothing would stop her “Monday morning alert.”
She captioned the clip:
“Abeg make this Una talk no too make my odogwu reason anything o… Una no go stop my alert this Monday morning ijn.”
Opinion: When Playful Trends Meet Public Scrutiny
Regina Daniels’ response highlights a recurring theme in celebrity culture — how every action, even playful ones, gets magnified under the public eye. For many couples, jumping on a social media trend is just harmless fun, but when you’re married to a billionaire senator and live under constant spotlight, context suddenly matters more than content.
Some critics saw the choice of audio as an insult, but Regina’s reaction shows she never intended disrespect. Her playful clap-back suggests she is unfazed by online noise and is focused on living her life. In truth, fans sometimes forget that celebrities, too, are allowed to be lighthearted and silly without every gesture being over-analyzed.
This also raises an important question about double standards: would the outrage have been the same if another celebrity used the same soundtrack? As Regina pointed out, probably not.
At the end of the day, the actress has once again proven her knack for turning controversy into conversation — and maybe even more attention to her brand.
