A photo of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, posing with American rapper and business mogul Jay-Z has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
The image was shared on Instagram by actor Lege Miami on Friday.
In the photo, Seyi, dressed in a black shirt, smiled beside the billionaire hip-hop mogul. The exact location and date the photo was taken remain unknown.
Lege captioned the post, “Legendary movement @jayz With my Seyi mi @seyitinubu“
Though it was posted a day after the national holiday, many Nigerians still viewed the timing as insensitive considering the harsh economic realities in the country.
An X user wrote, “Of what use is this photo to hungry Nigerians like you Lege? We need food, not flex.”
Another said, “How this photo take help Nigeria? Jay-Z no even sabi una wahala.”
“This is not the time for such photos. Nigerians are suffering,” one user commented.
Some sarcastic comments also trailed the image.
One user wrote, “Unrelated; Seyi is two times richer than Jay Z.”
Another added, “He want use Jay-Z for camping for 2027?”
One commented, “Maybe he wants to start singing.”
Another wrote, “Incoming governor of Lagos state.”
Seyi Tinubu, known for his involvement in digital advertising and youth-focused causes, has yet to respond to the backlash.
President Tinubu had addressed the nation on Thursday, marking 25 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria.
