Popular content creator, Kuye Adegoke, aka Egungun of Lagos, has found himself at the center of a sex tape scandal, sparking widespread reactions from Nigerians on social media.
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.”
Her post had lots of reactions while some praised her for supporting her husband, some mocked her
“Women supporting men in the mud, she must have left their association overnight,” said Billzcollecshun, a Facebook user, criticizing Egungun’s wife for defending him amidst the scandal.
However, others have come to her defense, with Peace Ighodaro saying, “Egungun’s wife is the perfect definition of an understanding wife.” Mercy Akuma also opined, “Egungun’s wife has every right to stick to her man no matter what she sees… It’s her choice.”
