Popular media personality and veteran radio host Ifedayo Olarinde, widely known as Daddy Freeze, has stirred controversy online following comments he made about men’s health and prostate cancer.
Daddy Freeze made the remarks during a recent livestream discussion with entertainer Cater Efe, where he suggested that men who do not ejaculate up to 21 times in a month could be increasing their risk of developing prostate cancer.
“I won’t encourage masturbation, but if a man doesn’t ejaculate at least 21 times monthly, he could be setting himself up for possible prostate cancer,” he said during the broadcast.
A video clip from the conversation quickly gained traction on social media, sparking widespread debate. Many users questioned the scientific basis of the claim, warning against presenting complex medical issues in absolute terms.
Reacting to the statement, a social media user identified as Pharm. Greatman dismissed the assertion as misleading, noting that medical research does not support a fixed number of ejaculations as a preventive measure.
“The claim that men must ejaculate 21 times a month to avoid prostate cancer is not true. There is no guaranteed number. Some studies suggest a possible association between more frequent ejaculation and a slightly reduced risk, but this does not amount to a rule, prevention method, or treatment,” he stated.
The debate continues as health professionals urge the public to rely on verified medical advice rather than viral claims shared online.
