Daddy freeze criticizes Nathaniel Bassey’s hallelujah challenge

Media personality Daddy Freeze has stirred controversy by criticizing gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey’s popular Hallelujah challenge.

The Hallelujah challenge, which began in 2021, involves an hour of online praise and prayer, with many Nigerians claiming it has brought positive changes to their lives.

However, during a live Instagram session, when a viewer suggested that Daddy Freeze participate in the challenge, he became visibly upset.

In a heated response, Daddy Freeze criticized both the challenge and its participants, questioning the impact it has had on Nigeria since its inception.

He expressed his anger and warned people not to bring up the Hallelujah challenge on his page.

In his outburst, Daddy Freeze accused Nathaniel Bassey of using the challenge to boost his brand, urging people to focus on his teachings instead, which he claimed would reduce their need for constant prayer.

He said:
“E no go better for anybody wey say he wan join Hallelujah challenge, e no go beta for you and Hallelujah challenge! Which stupid prayer dey on? God go punish you! Wetin concern me with Hallelujah challenge? Since they’ve been challenging Hallelujah what has happened in Nigeria? No carry that nonsense come meet me o, just keep it away from here. Wetin dem dey use una build him brand! Hallelujah challenge ko, Hosanna challenge ni! If you listen to Daddy Freeze, you will need to challenge the hallelujah less because I will teach you the common sense to have so you don’t need to have so that you don’t pray 24/7, I’m here to teach you life experience! Una no dey like hear word.”

His remarks sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some agreeing with his critique, while others stood in support of the Hallelujah challenge.
