Main PageRe: 8 Sex Scandals That Rocked The Nigerian Entertainment Industry
eye. With the media watching their every move and
the spotlight beamed on them, rumours or news of
aberrations in their private lives are often
sensationalised and blown out of proportion.
When sex is involved, it threatens the victim’s career
and everything around them, including their
families, friends and colleagues. Whether it’s in the
form of alleged sex tapes, rumoured infidelity or
rumoured extra-marital affairs, the Nigerian
entertainment industry has had its fair share of sex
scandals.
NET highlights some of the famous scandals that
have ensnared Nigerian entertainment personalities
in the past.
. Wizkid’s alleged Compromizing Video
With the release of his debut album, ‘Star Boy’ in
2011, a star was born.
Singles off the album were chart-toppers and radio
hits, and had the singer raking in shows by the hour.
But fame had its price. On the road to fame, he
waddled through a pool of infamy, including a
Compromizing Video scandal that almost obliterated
his budding career.
Few months after he was falsely reported to have
been arrested in Scotland with drugs, a
Compromizing Video appeared on the internet. The
Compromizing Video, which went viral, showed a
Wizkid look alike in a sexual act with an older white
woman.
The Ogun State born singer later denied being in the
video. ‘I think you are either blind or silly if you ask
me about the tape,’ he wrote on Twitter. Wizkid also
released a song titled ‘It wasn’t me’ to clear up all the
rumours about him. From his relationship with
Banky W, the drug rumours and of course the
Compromizing Video scandal, in the ‘No church in
the wild’ by Kanye West and Jay Z cover, the singer
rapped: ‘Them say I was caught hands down in a
video, them dey run their mouth everyday like radio;
nor be me dey the video, (It wasn’t me) dem just put
me for gbege na bad man way, only jah go judge
their ways.’ The song also featured former EME label
mate Skales.
Mo’cheedah and Eldee’s Twitter Unclad drama
This came like a thief in the night. The deed was
done in the dead of the night, but by morning it blew
up, threatening the career of then princess of
hiphop, Modupe Oreoluwa Oyeyemi, popularly
known as Mo’cheddah, and the home of married
music veteran Lanre Dabiri A.K.A Eldee the Don.
This is what happened. In the early hours of
Monday, October 3, 2011, a funny conversation
between Mo’cheedah’s Twitter account and that of
Eldee’s occurred. ‘If people here with us see it, just
say one of the guys also in the hotel posted it to
you,’ tweet from Eldee’s Twitter handle to
Mo’cheedah, read.
What followed after was shocking: a Unclad picture
of a Mo’cheedah look alike was posted by her
Twitter account to Eldee’s handle.
It sparked up a whirlwind of controversy the next
morning as it became a trending topic on social
media and the entertainment blogsphere. Was Eldee
having an extra-marital affair with Mo’cheedah? Why
was she sending him Unclad photos? Who hacked
their accounts? The questions came from
everywhere.
It was alleged that those tweets were intended for
the secrecy of the Direct Message feature on Twitter,
only for it to leak to the public eye.
The two stars denied these allegations, insisting
there were hacked.
‘Pls tweeps my acct has been hacked. Disregard my
tweets, I’m working on securing my acct. And of cos
THAT is not me!,‘ Mo’cheedah later wrote on Twitter.
‘Someone is bleeping around with my account!! If I
fuckin catch you!!!,’ an obviously furious Eldee also
wrote on Twitter.
Mo’cheedah went quiet musically after this scandal,
but later made a comeback with an impressive
single which featured reigning rapper Phyno.
. 9ice, Toni Payne and Ruggedman’s rumoured
love triangle
This started with just a song.
After separating from his wife of almost two years in
2010, 9ice, in a song titled ‘Once bitten twice
shy’ (the ninth track off his album ‘Tradition’), sang
about catching his lover giving his friend ‘nodding’
— a term often used for MouthAction.
This brought about media frenzy and another sex
scandal in the Nigerian entertainment industry that
can never be forgotten in a hurry. A deluge of
allegations and rumours followed.
Ruggedman was featured in the drama, with many
alleging that he was the friend mentioned in the
song. Those familiar with the situation continue to
allege that Ruggedman had an on-off affair with
Payne before and during her relationship with 9ice.
An averment Ruggedman and Payne have since
insisted was false.
Though this particular scandal has been forgotten,
the true story about the song by 9ice is yet to be
known. Frustrated with the negative publicity which
the scandal brought upon her, Toni Payne, via a
Facebook post on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, pleaded
with 9ice to come out with the truth about his song.
The plea was supported by Ruggedman.
‘#justsayin #FEDup A song I heard n loved months
b4 it came out is causin sme minor issues so I will
address dis issue by simply stating that its not my
job to clear d air but I also think its time the person
who sang the song ‘once bitten’ comes out and tells
the truth to every1 and let us no who he sang it for,’
Toni Payne wrote on her Facebook wall.
‘TONI PAYNE My advice to you is you get 9ice to step
up and clear this thing about this song once and for
all so all this bullshit can stop. HE SANG THE
SONG,ONLY HE CAN SAY WHO HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT IN THE SONG. SO 9ICE WHERE ARE YOU?’
Ruggedman added.
.Wizkid’s baby mama drama
Wizkid‘s numerous shenanigans since he hit
stardom ensure that he makes a second appearance
on this list.
NET exclusively reported in August 2011 that the
EME pop star Wizkid had fathered his first child at
21. The singer, according to that NET exclusive
report, had impregnated a certain Shola who was an
undergraduate at the time. Wizkid, who was
rumoured to be dating Tonto Dikeh back then,
vehemently denied the fatherhood claims.
‘No, I don’t. It’s just a rumour, I’m not thinking about
that right now,’ Wizkid denied having a child in an
exclusive interview with NET.
The reports, however, shattered many hearts with
many fearing that their darling young and
enchanting singer had fallen into the hazardous
circus of the entertainment industry. To his fans and
the public, he had lost the good boy image which
initially made him a child star.
Fast forward to 2014, and Wizkid is no longer that
fresh faced young singer we saw in 2010. Now a
record label owner and ladies’ man, he lives up to
being a father.
NET report was proven to be true and now Wizkid
hardly goes a week without showing off his son
Boluwatife on Instagram.
. The Wande Coal Unclad that caused a little stir
Award winning singer Wande Coal has not been left
out of the controversies, as he once trended online
for the wrong reason when an alleged Unclad photo
of him popped up on the internet in 2010. His then
record label, Mo’hits Records, released a statement
insisting that the photo was fake and altered by an
‘enemy’ trying to bring down the singer.
Yet not many people believed that, not even his
fellow industry mate Olamide. ‘Oloso (prostitutes)
thinking of how to ruin me, but I know what I’m
doing/they want to Wande Coal me,’ Olamide rapped
on a track about not letting his guard down when it
comes to interacting with obsessed female fans.
. Chidinma Ekile’s rumoured Compromizing
Video
Sweet, beautiful and talented singer, with her petite
church girl looks, Chidinma has endeared herself to
the hearts of many since her emergence in the
Nigerian entertainment industry.
This is why fans were stunned when a
Compromizing Video of a Chidinma look-alike leaked
on the internet in 2013.
‘The girl in the video cannot be Chidinma,’ was the
popular sentiment expressed by many fans on
social media and entertainment websites across the
country. The girl in the Compromizing Video
displayed top notch sexual performances… too top
notch for our own church chorister music star,
Chidinma, we thought.
In a later interview with HipTV, rapper Illbliss, who is
a friend and mentor of the singer, revealed that the
Compromizing Video scandal brought her tears.
‘All she did was cry her eyes out, saying ‘I’m only a
small girl; I’ve not wronged anybody, why will
anyone do this to me?’ I told her that we will speak
when we want to and it will not be to defend the
Compromizing Video issue but to communicate her
success; and indeed it worked,’ Illbliss revealed.
. Ese Walter and COZA pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo’s
sex affair
This allegation of infidelity from blogger and Radio
Presenter Ese Walter, was made in a 3000-word
article in which she detailed her affair with her
pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Abuja branch of
Common Wealth Of Zion Assembly.
Ese accused the pastor of manipulating her sexually
and also spiritually. Here is an excerpt from what
she wrote: ‘He asked me to kiss him and all I could
think about was seeing him preach on the pulpit
back in COZA Abuja, Nigeria, which was my home
church. He again said ‘feel free Ese.’ And asked
again, that I kiss him. A few hours later, let’s just
say, we were rolling under the sheets. It felt as
though my mind had paused. I am not saying I was
jazzed, (although it’s possible I was in some trance-
like state and didn’t know it but I just was so afraid
that I couldn’t say or think otherwise.) That was the
beginning of this affair. A sexual affair that went on
for a little over a week, DAILY.’
Less than a month after Ese’s revelations, another
lady, Franca E, also wrote an open letter alleging
that the Pastor asked her for sex.
This scandal was beyond the entertainment
industry; it was huge and controversial. Yet, the
accused, Pastor Fatoyinbo remained mute on the
issue.
‘I can assure you my wife and I love each other and
at the right time we shall respond. Read my lips, we
are going to release a robust reply to all the
allegations,’ he said in a church service after the
allegations made headlines across the country.
It has been almost one year since these allegations
were made. Ese Walters has moved on. She has
found love and gotten married. The world is
however still waiting for a reply.
. Obesere rape scandal
After being accused of rape by his lover Olanike
Olaiya, Obesere had to prove his innocence to the
police, the law, his fans, his family and the general
public. This was a shock to many Fuji fans and
followers as Obesere had been known as a scandal-
and controversy-free Fuji singer.
The singer, however, insisted he was innocent, a
claim which has fortunately been verified by police
investigations.
‘As far as we’re concerned, and based on the
investigations carried out so far on the matter, most
of the allegations by Obesere’s accuser, Olanike
Olaiya, were fabricated. Although, they both
admitted having carnal knowledge of each other,
there was absolutely nothing to show that Nike was
raped as she claimed,’ Lagos State Police Command
Spokesperson Ngozi Braide confirmed.
