The incident has ignited a wave of discussions and debates online, prompting strong reactions from his wife, Pashotah, who claims the leak is part of a blackmail plot. Shortly before the video's release, Pashotah took to Instagram to accuse a Snapchat user of recording a private video that was mistakenly posted on their story, threatening to publish the footage unless certain demands were met.
Pashotah expressed her resolve, asserting that the attempts to shame their marriage would not succeed. “This relationship grew over 6-8 years when we both had nothing. It is built on trust, understanding, loyalty, and commitment," she stated. “This blackmail attempt is designed to undermine us, but it won't work. My husband has never cheated on me, and I trust him implicitly.”
In her post, she emphasized the intimate nature of the leaked video, stating it was never meant for public eyes. Pashotah added, “I owe no one an explanation. This is a private video meant for me, and I won’t let it affect our relationship."
As the drama unfolded, Egungun of Lagos seemed unfazed by the controversy. He shared a video on his Instagram, dancing in his living room with a woman to the song “Gimme Your Love" by Zlatan and Olamide. His light-hearted response only fueled further speculation among social media users, with some accusing him of betrayal while others suggested potential manipulation of the leaked material.
This incident is not an isolated one in Nigeria’s celebrity scene. Egungun now joins a growing list of public figures who have faced similar trials in recent years, including former Big Brother Naija star Eloka Nwamu and singer Tiwa Savage, both of whom were also involved in leaked sex tape scandals.
Kuye Adegoke has built a substantial following on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where he is known for interviewing various entertainment figures, including Afrobeats stars. As the situation develops, fans and followers are left to wonder how this scandal might impact his career and personal life moving forward.
