The viral ‘Chosen’ trend has found its way into the DMs of Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson, and he is not amused.
The actor recently shared a message he received from a fan, who declared themselves as a ‘Chosen’ member and asked him for money for breakfast. In response, Timini threatened to block any Chosen member that messaged him and made it clear that he didn’t find the trend amusing.
Timini’s stern response to the fan has drawn comparisons to a similar incident involving Nigerian singer Peruzzi, who also faced a request from a Chosen member. Unlike Timini, Peruzzi’s response was more aggressive, earning him backlash from netizens.
However, Timini’s response has been met with a wave of support from social media users, who found his stance justified:
- @joybargram commented, “This is subtle begging…. Stylish bambiallah.”
- @onlv1luwa added, “We overdo everything! Even ‘Demure’ is still at the hospital recovering!”
- @melanie.xoxo wrote, “Nigerians don’t just know when to stop…. I’ve never been a fan of this trend, it’s not funny.”
- @iam_ivan1456 shared, “Am I the only one that doesn’t find this funny?”
- @gafgold commented, “Same here, I never even typed it since it started trending. Maybe I’m a different human being or I just don’t find the jokes funny.”
Others shared mixed reactions, with some making light of the situation:
- @agbatufab joked, “I am Chosen. You no fit block me. I go unblock myself. I am Chosen.”
- @tayeextra criticized, “This Timini go just dey form like say him nah celebrity, overhyped celeb Abeg calm down. Who your block help?”
Despite the playful banter, some fans, like @beautys_hairgame, agreed that “too much of everything is not good” and felt the joke had run its course.
While the ‘Chosen’ trend continues to dominate Nigerian social media, Timini Egbuson’s reaction has made it clear that not everyone is on board with the viral jokes. As netizens weigh in on the debate, the actor has made his stance firm: keep the jokes out of his DMs, or risk being blocked.
