Nigerians across social media platforms have berated popular content creator, Kuye Adegoke (well known as Egungun of Lagos) over his leaked private video.
In the leaked clip making the rounds on social media, Egungun of Lagos was seen brushing his teeth during a video call with an unidentified woman while dressed in shorts and flashed his private part to the lady on the call.
Before the video surfaced online, his wife, Pashotah, had publicly addressed a blackmail attempt involving her husband’s private videos.
She took to her Instagram on Sunday to defend the husband, saying, “Hi guys, someone is blackmailing me with my husband’s videos. My name is Pashotah and y’all know my husband is, obviously I know so many people have wanted to bring both of us down including guys and girls.
“I always choose to ignore but I’m not ignoring today cuz the blackmailer didn’t go to Egungun of Lagos directly to blackmail him but he came to me instead cos (sic) he has a motive of putting me to shame like he said his messages above but one thing he (blackmailer) doesn’t know is that this relationship between myself and my husband is not just built today, this relationship has been coming for over 6-8 years when we both had nothing. This relationship is built on trust, understanding, loyalty, commitment and so many more. So there is nothing that can bring us down, not even now”.
However, this development has sparked widespread reactions online, with many questioning Egungun’s earlier image as a family-oriented man.
This, netizens believed, has cast aspersions on his wife for her staunch defense of their marriage with some concluding that Egungun’s action is a betrayal of his wife’s trust, others pointed to the possibility of the video being a misinterpretation or an old clip intended to tarnish his image.
As of the time of filing this report, Egungun of Lagos has yet to address the controversy, and his wife has not released any additional statement.
