Popular content creator OkikiDFT has stirred conversation online after opening up about feeling misunderstood by some of his colleagues in the industry.

In a candid remark shared on social media, OkikiDFT revealed that whenever he gets emotional and publicly congratulates his friends on their achievements, they often misinterpret his intentions.

“Anytime I get emotional and congratulate my friends, Sydney Talker and co, they start thinking I’m famzing them and give attitude,” he said.

The statement has since sparked mixed reactions from fans and fellow creators, with many weighing in on the delicate dynamics of friendship within the entertainment space.

Although OkikiDFT did not directly accuse anyone of wrongdoing, his mention of popular skit maker Sydney Talker quickly caught attention online. Supporters of both creators flooded comment sections, debating whether fame can sometimes create distance between longtime friends.

Some users sympathized with OkikiDFT, saying that genuine support should never be mistaken for clout chasing. Others argued that in an industry where public praise can sometimes be strategic, misunderstandings are bound to happen.

The slang term “famzing,” commonly used in Nigerian pop culture, refers to someone trying too hard to associate with a more popular or influential person. OkikiDFT’s comments suggest he feels his heartfelt congratulations are being wrongly viewed through that lens.

While Sydney Talker has not publicly responded to the remark, fans are closely watching to see if the issue will be addressed or clarified.

Industry observers note that friendships within the Nigerian content creation space often evolve as careers grow. With rising fame, brand endorsements, and larger audiences, even small misunderstandings can become amplified on social media.

Despite the tension hinted at in his post, OkikiDFT did not indicate any major fallout. Instead, his message appeared more reflective than confrontational, highlighting the emotional side of navigating friendships in the public eye.

The conversation has added to ongoing discussions about authenticity, loyalty, and ego within Nigeria’s fast growing digital entertainment industry.
