Nigerian content creator Gabriel Timothy, widely known by his social media handle Tumma, has once again sparked online debate following the release of a video in which he mocked Nollywood actress Regina Daniels amid her ongoing family drama. The video quickly went viral across multiple social media platforms, generating widespread reactions from both fans and critics alike.
The timing of the video’s release coincided with heightened public attention on Regina Daniels, following her emotional pleas on social media regarding the arrest of her elder brother, Samuel Daniels, allegedly linked to her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. This has further amplified the impact of Tumma’s commentary and contributed to the viral nature of the post.
Background: Previous Arrest Linked to Comments About Regina Daniels
Tumma is not new to controversy involving the Nollywood actress and her husband. A few months ago, he made headlines after being reportedly detained and jailed by Senator Ned Nwoko for allegedly making defamatory remarks about Regina Daniels. The arrest stemmed from claims he made suggesting that the actress had another partner aside from her billionaire husband, a statement that generated significant media attention and public discourse.
Following his release, Tumma continued to maintain a provocative online presence, frequently commenting on celebrity news and public affairs, often attracting polarized reactions from netizens.
“Give Me Regina Daniels’ Tears to Eat With Bread”
In his latest viral clip, Tumma took a sarcastic and mocking approach to Regina Daniels’ ongoing family crisis. Recalling the public reactions to his previous arrest, he made a pointed statement aimed at highlighting perceived hypocrisy, saying:
“Give me Regina Daniels’ tears to eat with bread. When I was arrested by Senator Ned just because I spoke about his precious wife, everyone on the internet was happy and jubilant. Now, the same man has arrested your brother, and you’re crying to Nigerians for justice.”
He further added a humorous yet biting comment, emphasizing the extent of his mockery: “They should give me Regina and her family’s tears to eat with bread — I don’t want to use tea.” This statement clearly aimed to provoke reactions, drawing attention to what he perceives as inconsistency in public sympathy and reactions towards Regina Daniels and her family situation.
Additionally, Tumma issued a veiled warning, stating that anyone attempting to confront him over his comments would be “dealt with,” a statement that has only intensified the conversation around the video and added fuel to the online debate.[/p>
Social Media Reacts to Tumma’s Video
The release of the video triggered a flurry of comments and discussions on social media platforms. Many users criticized Tumma for making light of a sensitive family matter, labeling his remarks as insensitive and inappropriate given the emotional distress experienced by Regina Daniels and her family. Some commenters argued that while Tumma has the right to express his opinion, mocking someone’s emotional turmoil crosses ethical boundaries and demonstrates a lack of empathy.
Despite the criticism, a few followers defended Tumma’s video, claiming he was simply highlighting the perceived irony in public reactions and the selective nature of social media outrage. The debate over his video has continued to trend across Instagram, Twitter, and other platforms, with users weighing in on issues ranging from celebrity accountability to freedom of expression.
