5 Celebrities Whose Private Videos Leaked in the Last Two Years

Private videos becoming public consumption on social media is no recent phenomenon; it has been occurring since the early days of the internet. Nevertheless, this trend has escalated significantly over the past years, with numerous instances of celebrities and public figures’ videos going viral on various social media platforms.

In the age of smartphones and social media, the line between public and private has blurred more than ever before. Here’s a look at five Nigerian celebrities whose private videos have surfaced on social media within the past two years.

1. Tiwa Savage

In October 2021, the Afrobeat music star, Tiwatope Savage, better known as Tiwa Savage, found herself in the spotlight for an unexpected reason – her private sex tape was leaked online. What was remarkable about this incident was Tiwa Savage’s proactive approach. She took control of the narrative by breaking the news herself and claiming that she was being blackmailed over the video. Later, in her 2022 song ‘Loaded,’ she addressed the issue, sending a strong message that she wouldn’t let the incident define her.

2. Oxlade

Nigerian music star, Oxlade, had a moment of unintended exposure in February 2022 when he mistakenly uploaded a private video on Snapchat. Although the video was swiftly deleted, it had already been saved and shared by some of his followers. In response, Oxlade publicly apologized to his fans, expressing a sense of betrayal by those who made the video public.

3. James Brown

James Chukwueze Obialor, popularly known as James Brown, is no stranger to controversy. In October 2022, he set the internet ablaze when a video of his intimate moments with a lady went viral on Snapchat. The explicit video generated intense reactions, adding another layer to James Brown’s already provocative online presence.

4. Buba Girl

Esther Raphael, known as “The Buba Girl” on TikTok, found herself in the midst of a social media storm in August. A video of her engaging in explicit self-pleasure surfaced and quickly spread across various social media platforms. The video drew substantial criticism and condemnation from social media users.

5. Moyo Lawal

The most recent addition to this list is Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal. She became a trending topic after a video of her intimately involved with an unknown man went viral on social media. The video’s release prompted a backlash, with some speculating that it might have been intentionally leaked for publicity. Moyo Lawal, however, vehemently denied consent and vowed to take legal action against anyone responsible for sharing the video.

The rise of social media has made it increasingly challenging for celebrities to maintain their privacy. These instances serve as a stark reminder that in the digital age, even the most intimate moments can become public spectacles in the blink of an eye.
