She shared a screenshot of a chat allegedly showing the monarch praising her gesture.
However, what caught public attention was her choice of words. In her excitement, she reportedly referred to the monarch as “even this king”.
The phrase was interpreted by many as disrespectful toward one of Nigeria’s most revered traditional rulers.
Critics quickly called her out, arguing that the comment showed a lack of cultural sensitivity.
Social critic VeryDarkMan did not hold back. He described her comment as disrespectful, questioning how someone seeking validation from respected figures could casually downplay their status.
His remarks escalated into a back-and-forth between the two personalities, drawing more attention to the issue.
In the heat of the debate, King Mitchy returned to Instagram with a fresh update.
According to her, the Ooni had personally intervened and advised critics to ease up on her.
She wrote on her Instagram Stories:
“The king has said you guys should leave me alone… that I am still a young girl… never knew how important he was before today… so generous and kind hearted.”
