Dino Melaye, a controversial politician and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, has slammed veteran Nigerian entertainer, Charly Boy, for berating him over his recent show of wealth on social media.
TheNewsGuru reports that Charly Boy, had via the microblogging platform, X likened Melaye to a person suffering from clinical depression after the latter showcased a video of himself walking with a luxurious travelling box while rocking some designer outfits.
In reponse to the video, Charly Boy wrote, “This shows that even in the midst of luxury/obscene affluence, it is possible to be clinically depressed, not all forms of mental illness are discernible.”
Reacting, Dino Melaye vai his Instagram on Thursday night argued that Charlyboy has no moral standing to mock him for showing off online. The PDP chieftain who described Charlyboy as ‘a bad son of good father’, noted that the veteran entertainer lives a choatic lifestyle, and has no rights to call him out on any wrong doing.
He wrote, “It’s truly fascinating how some individual whose own existence is a performance of rebellion against moral conventions—suddenly acquire the audacity to prescribe psychological diagnoses from the confines of their own eccentricity. The irony is almost poetic. Coming from a man who has quite literally punctured his own body into a canvas of chaos, and curated a lifestyle that dances on the precipice of moral anarchy, the unsolicited commentary on Dino’s outfit reeks not of concern, but of calculated provocation wrapped in envy.
“When did Charlie Boy become the dean of moral instruction? What credentials does he hold in the clinic of human emotion to diagnose depression with the lens of fashion? Yellow, my dear sir, is the color of vibrance, of royalty in some cultures—not a symptom. Let us not feign intellectualism while parading in the garment of hypocrisy. Before you weaponize your flamboyance to belittle another man’s style, perhaps consult the archives of your own history.”
