Former Big Brother Naija season 7 contestant Eloswag has spoken out following the release of a personal video that surfaced online last weekend. The video, which shows an intimate moment between Eloswag and an unknown woman, was reportedly shared by the reality star himself on his Snapchat account in the early hours of Sunday morning, around 3am. He quickly deleted it, but not before it spread on social media.
Despite his quick action, the video ended up in the hands of a popular gossip blog who reposted it, garnering widespread attention. Eloswag used X (formerly known as Twitter) to express his frustration and weigh his options. In a post that he has since deleted, Eloswag questioned how the blogger obtained the video so quickly and expressed his desire to take legal action.

“I accidentally posted a video on my Snapchat at 3am and immediately deleted it. Guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Can I please sue? because it doesn’t make sense,” he wrote, indicating his intention to hold those responsible accountable.
With this incident, Eloswag joins a growing list of Nigerian celebrities whose private lives have been exposed online. From singers Tiwa Savage and Oxlade to actress Moyo Lawal and social media personality James Brown, numerous public figures have faced similar situations in recent years. These incidents have sparked discussions about privacy and security on social media, as well as the responsibility of bloggers who share sensitive content without permission.
Fans and other celebrities had mixed reactions. While some sympathize with Eloswag and encourage him to take legal action, others call for greater caution when handling personal content on social media. Data breaches like this raise concerns about how easily private moments can become public and highlight the potential need for stricter regulations on sharing explicit content without consent.
