Veteran Nollywood actress and producer, Rita Daniels, has sparked controversy online after sharing a video of herself dancing with her son, Sammy West, amid her daly ghter Regina Daniels’ reported marital crisis.
The video, posted on her official Instagram page, showed the duo cheerfully vibing to a song, with Rita smiling and dancing carefree. However, the clip didn’t sit well with many social media users, who criticized her for appearing unbothered despite the swirling reports about her daughter’s alleged troubles.
One Instagram user, @duru_maris, wrote, “You no just get shame. Them dey beat your pikin for marriage wey you force her enter and you get the audacity to come here come dance!! You failed her as a mother.”
Another user, @annabe1118, added, “Greedy mother sell her daughter out for her own selfishness.”
@chi_babeeeee69 commented, “Daughter dey cry, mama dey dance, ok oh,” while @queenglitzz wrote simply, “Shame shame shame!!!”
Others accused Rita of insensitivity, claiming the post was poorly timed. @smallgutter said, “After what your daughter passed through, you still dey happy come dey dance,” and @black_shuga added, “So you just came online after the whole saga just to post this?”
The video, which has since gone viral, continues to generate heated reactions, with fans divided between those calling her out and others defending her right to live freely despite her daughter’s situation.
As of press time, Rita Daniels has not responded to the backlash, while her daughter Regina Daniels remains silent amid the ongoing controversy.
