By Parrot Newspaper Dino Fires Back: ‘Charly Boy’s Destiny is in a Freezer
In a fiery showdown between two of Nigeria’s most flamboyant public figures, former Senator Dino Melaye has unleashed a scathing response to veteran entertainer and social critic, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy.
The drama ignited after Charly Boy threw a jab at the ex-lawmaker, accusing him of flaunting wealth on social media with reckless abandon. The maverick singer, known for his radical persona, mocked Melaye’s self-proclaimed uniqueness in a viral video where the former senator declared, “There’s no one else like me. I’m limited edition.”
In a tone laced with sarcasm and psychological shade, Charly Boy responded by insinuating that Melaye’s lavish lifestyle could be masking deeper issues. “Not all mental illnesses are noticeable,” he quipped, suggesting that the senator’s obsession with luxury might be a symptom of something darker.
But Dino Melaye was not about to let that slide.
In a no-holds-barred video posted to Facebook on Thursday, the outspoken politician clapped back with blistering accusations. “Charly Boy is a relic of the past, grasping for relevance,” Melaye fired. “His destiny has been caged—thrown into a freezer. He’s trying to thaw it out with my name.”
Not done, Melaye mocked Charly Boy’s living conditions, claiming the once-revered figure can’t even fix a leaking roof in his house. “He parks a giant motorbike in front of his house like a monument—and he dares to call me a show-off?”
This war of words has sent social media buzzing, with fans and critics of both men taking sides in what is shaping up to be a bitter clash of egos. On one side, the flamboyant former senator with his fleet of exotic cars and catchy slogans; on the other, the rebellious entertainer turned aging gadfly, unafraid to poke at political elites.
As Nigerians watch the drama unfold, one thing is clear: the spotlight is back on Dino and Charly Boy—two larger-than-life personalities who never shy away from controversy.
