Oxlade, the Nigerian singer, has revealed that he was blackmailed for two years with his sex tape before it was eventually leaked.
The tape explicitly showing intimate moments between Oxlade and a woman went viral online on February 9, 2022.
Oxlade, on the recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast with Joey Akan, spoke about how the leaked tape affected his career and family.
The ‘Kulosa’ singer said it felt like “peace of mind” when the tape got released because he had been “blackmailed for two years”.
He also said it affected his mental health, adding that he lost endorsement deals worth N400 million.
The 26-year-old also said he felt sad hearing his “grandma cry” over the sex tape.
“It was a peace of mind for me because I was getting blackmailed for two years. The content had existed way before they brought it out or they had a reason to break it out. I paid the blackmail money trust me,” he said.
“When it came out, I was like finally. But that was not the sad effect, the sad effect was hearing my grandma cry, asking me if I was going to be the one to end her. It affected my family but it definitely affected my mental health.
“I lost all my endorsement deals, four of them. I lost all the deals I was affiliated with up to like N400 million.”
