Amir responded with gratitude, thanking Regina for everything she has done for him.
Despite the loving sentiment, some followers criticized Regina for claiming to have “watched” Amir grow, given that she is only 24 years old. Many pointed out that the age gap is minimal, questioning the appropriateness of her statement.
User Motherwell Collins sarcastically commented, “You dey mumu ykourself. You dey call small girl mummy. If nor be say she marry your dad, you fit toast her for road. God abeg Oo.” Conversely, Osibekee defended Regina, stating, “How you all reason is baffling. She is a mother, and if she addresses him as son, it is still very correct. She has been married for five years, meaning he was 13 then and now 18. Isn’t that enough to say she has watched him grow?”
Other users chimed in with similar sentiments, questioning the appropriateness of Regina’s comments. However, some fans came to her defense, urging critics to let her be. One supporter, Doose, wrote, “Kai, when una go allow Regina Daniels breathe?”
