Sextape saga: Oxlade says “betrayals are very real” in public apology
Nigerian singer Ikuforiji Olaitan, known as Oxlade, has penned a public apology to his fans over the release of his sextapes and videos.
In the public apology posted on all his social media accounts, the ‘ojuju’ crooner suggested that he was betrayed with the release of the sextapes and that his privacy was invaded. He never said by whom.
“I am conscious that my business is out in
the public and I am not the type of person to put my personal business out there.
“Betrayals are very real and in this same
token I want to apologize to the woman in
the video, who did not deserve this type of
exposure, and lastly apologies to my fans
and well wishers,” the singer wrote.
The 24-year-old’s sextape with an unknown lady, along with over five nude videos were leaked during the early hours of Wednesday, February 9.
The videos which were said to be a Snapchat streak allegedly created by the singer, to send to his friend who later recorded it and posted it on Twitter.
Oxlade released a new single, ‘Baddest Boy Refix’, few days before the leak of these videos, raising speculations that the videos are a marketing strategy to raise exposure and sales since the song did lower than expected on the charts.
His song ‘Away’, rose Oxlade to international stardom in which he appeared on Rolling Stone’s 50 best songs of 2020.
He was also featured on the song ‘Overdue’ from the “Coming 2 America” studio album Rhythms of Zamunda, which was released on March 5, 2021.
He has also collaborated with major Nigerian artistes including Ice Prince, Basket Mouth, Ghanaian artiste Sarkodie, Moelogo.
