In a recent event that has stirred the online community, Nigerian music star D’Banj, popularly known as the Koko Master, found himself at the center of a social media storm after a video surfaced showing him prostrating before Pastor Jerry Eze during a surprise visit to mark the pastor’s 42nd birthday.

The video captures D’Banj kneeling, holding Pastor Jerry Eze’s hands, and offering prayers, a gesture that was intended as a mark of respect and humility. However, the reaction from fans and followers has been mixed, igniting a heated debate across social media platforms.

While some supporters praised D’Banj for his display of reverence towards a religious leader, many others criticized the act, questioning whether it was appropriate for a man of his stature to prostrate before another. Detractors have expressed their displeasure, arguing that the gesture was unnecessary and could be seen as diminishing his status as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

Despite the wave of criticism, a significant number of fans have come to D’Banj’s defense, commending him for his humility and his willingness to publicly honor a man of God. The divide in opinions showcases the complexities of public perceptions when it comes to interactions between celebrities and religious figures.
