Nigerian singer, Oxlade has revealed how he lost multimillion deals because of his s3xtapes.
In an interview with entertainment journalist, Joey Akan, Oxlade confirmed that the private videos were real. He claimed that he was being blackmailed over the tape and it was a big relief for him not to continue paying for the blackmail he was subjected to. Oxlade disclosed that it affected his family as his grandmother kept asking if he wanted to kill her.
Oxlade added that it pushed him into a dark phase as he had to also go in for rehab in the UK. He also said that Nigerians should have known it was an agenda against him as not just one video was released but many.
Sharing his lessons from the scandal, he added that all he learned from the saga was that it’s always your own people, as some people were afraid of his growth.
Kemi Filani reported in February 2022 that the singer was the subject of discussion for days after a private video of him getting intimate with a lady was posted on Snapchat.
The lady in question filed a lawsuit against him seeking N20 million as damages for the distasteful act.
Oxlade had later tendered an unreserved apology over the video, as he averred that heâs conscious about his business being in public, and heâs not the type of person that churns out his business in the public.
Oxlade added that betrayals are real, saying the lady in the viral s3x tape doesnât deserve such exposure, significantly as her face wasnât blurred. The singer went on to apologize to the lady in the viral tape.
Last year, Justice Olalekan Oresanya of an Ikeja High Court awarded N5 million damages against the singer.
She described the action of the singer as âdespicable, horrendous, distasteful and classless, and chastised the and cautioned him against such acts in his relationship with the opposite s3x in the future.
The judge said the court would have awarded exemplary and aggravated damages far greater than the agreed settlement sum of N5 million against the respondent. Luckily for him, he is to pay the N5 million damages awarded against him to the claimant in two installments of N2 million and N3 million respectively.
