Chief Daddy 2 received negative reviews, especially on social media, to the shock of Mo Abudu, the movie creator.
A Nigerian Filmmaker, Mo Abudu, has begged fans to show understanding with her latest work, Chief Daddy 2, a comic movie that fails to make many fans laugh.
The movie which was released on January 1, 2022, has since gotten negative reviews, especially on social media.
Mo Abudu, who seems frustrated that the heavily budgeted movie that featured a-list artists getting negative reviews, politely appealed for understanding from fans, but also warned critical reviewers that she would use the block option on them.

She stated: “We are aware of the mixed reactions to the release of ‘Chief Daddy 2’ on the first of January on Netflix. While some people enjoyed the film, others did not. I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Chief Daddy fans that felt some disappointment with the sequel. My goodness, we trended on social media on New Year’s Day!
“We know you love and care about the industry and for the Ebony Life brand, hence the concerns that you raised. Thank you so much for caring and for sharing your concerns. So passionately, we have heard you loud and clear.
“Over the years, we’ve been the privileged recipients of your support for our productions: ‘Fifty’, ‘The Wedding Party’, ‘The Royal Hibiscus Hotel’, ‘Your Excellency’, ‘The Governor’, ‘Castle & Castle’, ‘Oloture’, and ‘Chief Daddy 1’.
“When you express disappointment with us, please know your voices are heard. Just as we appreciate the positive feedback and reviews, we also appreciate the not-so-positive ones as they are constructive for me and my team.”
She continued: “That way we can continuously improve ourselves, so we can deliver the great quality productions you have come to expect from Ebonylife studios. We welcome honest and constructive feedback, that is how we evolve and improve. What we do not welcome are insults, abuse or any form of trolling towards myself and any members of my team. Please share your feedback respectively otherwise we have to restrict entry to you on our pages.”
Some of the reviews from fans read: “Ah no what was Chief daddy 2 about? Famzy’s career, the wedding or the sisters sharing a man? I’m annoyed. What was this movie about? Chief daddy must be rolling in his grave,” a Twitter user, @Atindee said.
@eboigbeanita said: “I love films so much. They are my own perfect escape. I just want it to be well done and could care less about what camera you use. Then a film like ‘Chief Daddy 2’ gets made and later, Mo Abudu releases a response that sounds more like a threat than an apology.
