Media personality Daddy Freeze has found himself at the centre of a brewing online storm following the high-profile arrest of social media influencer and alleged luxury goods dealer Afolabi Kazeem Michael, widely known as KC Luxury.
Nigeria's National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrested KC Luxury on August 13, 2026, at Lagos's Murtala Muhammed International Airport as he prepared to board a flight to Paris.

Authorities linked him to an international cocaïne traffïcking network after seizing 184.5 kg of hard drugs, valued at approximately $27–28 million, from a Lagos courier facility earlier that month. The consignment was reportedly bound for the UK and other destinations.
In an early reaction to KC Luxury's arrest, Daddy Freeze distanced himself from the suspect, claiming he had only come across KC Luxury through online research.
He advised the public to scrutinise public figures more carefully, warning that some may have "questionable character."
He stated:
"I don't know who KC Luxury is. So I had to start doing some digging."
CMC challenges Daddy Freeze's claim
That denial did not sit well with everyone. On August 17, a social media personality identified as CMC posted a video directly challenging Daddy Freeze's account, claiming knowledge of five to ten individuals who had received luxury watches and cars from KC Luxury.
CMC warned that those pretending not to know the arrested influencer were being dishonest, and he threatened to begin "dropping names" in an upcoming video.
Daddy Freeze reacts to CMC's threat of exposure
Attempting to humorously distance himself from the impending exposure, Daddy Freeze responded by branding CMC "problematic" and pointing to an incident in which KC Luxury allegedly counted items he had given out, suggesting the arrested dealer had effectively implicated those who received gifts from him.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on August 18, Daddy Freeze took a more comedic approach, declaring that he now knows absolutely no one in Nigeria except his mother.
"I no know anything, I no know am o. I no know, even CMC I no know CMC o," he said.
He also expressed concern that CMC's willingness to expose secrets would land people in trouble across Lagos, America, and beyond.
