Former Big Brother Naija contestant Eloswag, whose real name is Eloka Paul Nwamu, faced a wave of public scrutiny after a private video, allegedly leaked on Snapchat, raised eyebrows and sparked controversy.
The clip quickly went viral, prompting widespread criticism and speculation.
In a since-deleted tweet, Eloswag cleared up the misunderstanding by stating that he had mistakenly posted the video on his Snapchat and subsequently deleted it. He hinted at taking legal action against GistLover, a blog notorious for its bold commentary, for suggesting that the leak was not an accident, but rather a deliberate attempt to prove that Eloswag is not gay.
In a tweet that he later took down, Eloswag wrote, “I posted a video mistakenly on my Snapchat by 3 am and deleted it immediately. Guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please can I sue? It doesn’t make sense.”
Following the scandal, fans have been divisive, with many expressing displeasure at Eloswag’s decision to store such sensitive content on his phone. Critics argue that a public figure, especially one in the public eye, should be extremely cautious with personal recordings in this era of viral shockwaves.
As the dust settles, only time will tell how this incident will impact Eloswag’s career and public image. For now, fans are left divided, with some calling for greater accountability from public figures, while others believe the incident is a harmless mistake that should not define Eloswag’s reputation.
