A young man who went viral in 2022 after receiving a now-famous “bombastic side eye” from popular nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest has resurfaced online, this time with serious accusations against the celebrity businessman.
The fan, whose brief encounter with Cubana Chief Priest turned into a viral moment, has now claimed that his life has never been the same since receiving a ₦500,000 cash gift from him.
