Chris Sails addressed why he did not attend his son CJ’s elementary school graduation after videos of him speaking on the issue began circulating online. During a live conversation with supporters, the YouTuber said he was not invited to the ceremony and admitted that his past actions may have made the situation more complicated. He said he does not blame Queen Naija and Clarence NYC for not inviting him, explaining that he understands how earlier conflicts and public drama may have affected the dynamic.
Sails responded to viewers who suggested he should have made time to attend once he learned about the graduation. He agreed that he could have handled things differently, but pushed back against comments accusing him of lying. According to Sails, he found out about the graduation while asking about summer custody arrangements for CJ. He said Queen Naija told him CJ would be available after a certain time because he was graduating, and that this was how he learned about the event rather than through a direct invitation.
He also said that while he understands why he may not have been included, he still believes he should have received an invitation. At the same time, he said he does not want anyone to feel uncomfortable. Sails added that he plans to speak with CJ directly about the graduation and his absence, suggesting he wants to hear how his son feels about the situation.
The discussion brought renewed attention to the long-running co-parenting tensions between Sails and Queen Naija, which have often played out publicly over the years. This is not the first time a school milestone for CJ has led to questions about Chris Sails’ attendance. In 2021, he also said he did not attend CJ’s kindergarten graduation because he was not invited and did not know the ceremony was taking place. Queen Naija later responded, saying Chris was dealing with legal issues at the time and that their co-parenting relationship was strained. She also said she was caring for a sick two-year-old during that period.
The latest situation quickly sparked debate on social media, where users split over who should have handled the invitation and communication. Some commenters said Queen Naija and Clarence NYC should have made sure Chris was invited, while others argued that as the father, he should have been more proactive and stayed informed about his son’s school life. Several users pointed out that CJ is old enough to communicate important events, while others said parents should not need to rely on the other household to track school milestones.
The online reaction also revisited Chris Sails’ history of trolling and public disputes, which has kept much of his family life under scrutiny. Even with the mixed responses, many commenters acknowledged that the situation reflects ongoing challenges in co-parenting after years of conflict. Despite the controversy, Sails appeared focused on moving forward and reconnecting with his son after missing the graduation ceremony.
