She said that her manager had sent her the video that had been sent to him by the blackmailer.

However, few weeks later, a video clip of her and her lover in compromising positions hit the internet.

Speaking on the issue three years after the incident, the ‘Kelekele love’ crooner noted that her biggest fear at the time was her son Jamil seeing the clip.

However, she noted that she paid an IT expert to wipe the clip off the internet and everybody’s phone.

“My biggest fear about my sex tape leaking was that my son might one day see it,” she said. “But I got in touch with an IT expert who hacked the video from the internet and everyone’s mobile device. Right now, you can’t find it anywhere. Even if you had it stored on your phone,” she added.

The Afrobeats queen is set to premiere her debut Nollywood movie, Water & Garri, on May 10, 2024.
