“Fk Summer Body, the Summer Money Is More Necessary” – Cubana Chief Priest Sparks Reactions as He Vacations in Ibiza

Celebrity barman and nightlife entrepreneur, Cubana Chief Priest, has once again taken over the social media space—this time not with champagne showers or flashy endorsements, but with a bold declaration that’s got everyone talking. While most people are hitting the gym, crunching abs, and cutting carbs in pursuit of the so-called “summer body,” the billionaire businessman made it clear that his priorities lie elsewhere. In a viral post from Ibiza, Spain, the socialite declared, “F**k summer body, the summer money is more necessary,” triggering a flurry of reactions across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok.

Known for his flamboyant lifestyle, booming voice, and love for all things luxury, Cubana Chief Priest (real name: Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu) has never been one to follow the crowd. From his early days as a bar manager in Owerri to becoming one of Nigeria’s most influential nightlife figures, the self-made millionaire has always worn his confidence like a designer suit. His latest statement only cements what his fans already know—he doesn’t conform to trends; he creates them.

In a video that has since racked up hundreds of thousands of views, the Chief Priest is seen lounging by a scenic poolside in Ibiza, clad in a pair of designer shorts, oversized sunglasses, and a glass of champagne in hand. Set against a backdrop of crystal-clear waters and exotic villas, he beams into the camera and delivers his now-famous line with the kind of swagger that only he can muster. “F**k summer body, the summer money is more necessary,” he says, letting out a hearty laugh before walking offscreen.

The post, while humorous to many, also struck a chord with a growing segment of people who are fed up with body image pressures and unattainable beauty standards, especially on social media. In a world where influencers and celebrities are often scrutinized for not fitting into a certain aesthetic mold, Cubana’s statement is being seen by many as a refreshing reminder that success, confidence, and financial freedom don’t come in a six-pack.

Reactions online have been swift and divided. Some fans hailed the statement as “the realest quote of the year,” praising Cubana Chief Priest for being unapologetically himself. “This is the energy I’m taking into July. Gym no go pay my bills abeg,” one user commented. Another fan wrote, “He’s not lying though. You can’t eat abs. Summer money over summer abs every time!”

However, not everyone was pleased. Critics argued that his comment promotes laziness and could encourage unhealthy lifestyles. “This is exactly the kind of mindset that leads to poor health. Yes, money is good, but what about longevity? What about discipline?” one X user wrote. Others pointed out that it’s easy for someone in his position to shun fitness when they can afford private chefs, medical care, and personal assistants.

But if there’s one thing Cubana Chief Priest has proven time and again, it’s that he thrives in controversy. Whether he’s gifting cars to friends, spraying money at events, or championing his “Celebrity Bar Man” brand, he knows how to keep the conversation going. And with this latest quote, he may have just given Nigerians a new mantra for the summer—one that’s not about crunches or cardio, but coins and cash flow.

Interestingly, the statement also ties into a deeper, more timely discussion around priorities and wellness in a post-pandemic economy. For many Nigerians, especially in 2025, fitness goals have taken a backseat to survival and financial stability. With inflation biting harder than ever, the naira’s struggle against foreign currencies, and rising unemployment rates, a large percentage of youths are focusing on financial empowerment over physical aesthetics. In that light, Cubana’s “summer money” statement resonates far beyond the shores of Ibiza.

His comment also seems to reflect a broader cultural shift happening globally. The conversation around health is becoming more inclusive, with more people rejecting traditional beauty standards in favor of self-love, body positivity, and mental wellness. Rather than shaming others into unrealistic ideals, more celebrities and influencers are embracing authenticity—and Chief Priest’s unfiltered approach fits neatly into that growing movement.

Back in Nigeria, the comment has become meme material. From t-shirts to TikTok remixes, “F**k summer body, the summer money is more necessary” is now more than a quote—it’s a cultural statement. Young entrepreneurs are quoting it in motivational posts, fitness trainers are turning it into challenges, and comedy skit makers are already dropping parody videos.

For Cubana Chief Priest, this is just another day in the life of a man who has mastered the art of staying relevant. Whether it’s collaborating with brands, hosting elite parties, or dropping one-liners that spark national debates, he continues to walk the fine line between controversy and charisma. It’s a strategy that has earned him millions of followers, international recognition, and a firm spot in the upper echelon of Nigerian celebrity culture.

As he continues to share snapshots from his Ibiza vacation—complete with boat rides, gourmet meals, and late-night parties—one thing is clear: the Chief Priest is living his best life, on his own terms. And while some may disagree with his stance, many more are inspired by his audacity to choose fulfillment over conformity.

At the end of the day, whether you’re grinding in the gym or grinding for the bag, one message echoes loud and clear this summer: money talks, and in Cubana Chief Priest’s world, it screams.

Love it or hate it, one thing’s for sure—when Cubana speaks, Nigeria listens.
