On her podcast, Big Brother Naija star Doyin made a controversial statement regarding her stance on her children's sexuality, saying, "If my child is a lesbian, fine. If my child is gay, fine... I think it is completely irrelevant, it doesn't matter what the child's sexuality is." While Doyin's comment sparked reactions online, the response has been divided. Some supporters appreciated her open-minded perspective, while others strongly disagreed. Some users compared Doyin’s approach to that of celebrities who make bold statements about trends.
Others voiced frustration, questioning whether she is fit to be a parent. Concern was also raised about social media pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda, with some labeling it as “insanity.”
Meanwhile, some felt that a parent's acceptance of their child's identity should not be forced but respected, while others argued that parents should not simply accept every decision their child makes until they are adults.
