Former lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, has lambasted veteran Nigerian music legend and TV presenter, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, known as Charly Boy, over the latter’s recent attack on him.
Charly Boy had earlier challenged Senator Dino Melaye over the representative’s constant show of wealth on the internet.
Melaye, a former senator representing Kogi West during the 8th Assembly, is known for his showy display of lifestyle and luxury cars.
Charly Boy’s comment followed the lawmaker’s recent video where he claimed that “There’s no one else like me. I’m limited edition”.
In his reaction, Charly Boy said Dino might be depressed amid his wealth, noting that “not all mental illnesses are noticeable”.
Reply to Charly Boy’s comment, Dino in a video he shared on Facebook on Thursday, claimed that the musician’s destiny has been frozen.
According to Dino, Charly Boy only wanted to use his name to gain popularity.
He said, “I heard he has a leaking roof but he has no money to fix it. He places a whole big bike in front of his house like a statue and he doesn’t see that as a show off.
“He wanted to use my name to gain popularity because his destiny has been thrown inside freezer”.
