BBNaija’s Eloswag addresses leaked video controversy

Former Big Brother Naija contestant Eloswag has responded to the recent leak of an intimate video involving him and an unidentified woman.

The explicit footage, shared on Snapchat around 3 am on Sunday, disappeared almost immediately but soon re-emerged across social media platforms after being reposted by a blogger.

The video, which shows the 30-year-old in a compromising position, has since gone viral, sparking conversations and debates among fans and critics alike.

In response to the situation, Eloswag took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and hinted at legal action.

In a since-deleted post, he wrote, “I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3 am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense.”

This incident has led to speculations on the motivation behind the leak.

Many are questioning whether it was a calculated attempt to regain media attention, especially as Eloswag’s career has seen limited activity since his time on the reality show.

Others have wondered if it was a reaction to ongoing speculation about his sexuality following Gistlover’s claim that he is gay.

Eloswag is no stranger to controversy. During his time on Big Brother Naija, he was known for his outspoken nature and was frequently embroiled in conflicts and romances.

Notably, he had a fling with Phyna the eventual winner. He also stirred up controversy during the show when he hid packs of condoms.

With this incident, Eloswag joins a growing list of Nigerian celebrities including Moyo Lawal, Tiwa Savage, Oxlade and James Brown whose private videos have surfaced online.
