THE CABLE NG
Kuye Adegoke, the Nigerian lifestyle content creator better known as Egungun of Lagos, is at the centre of controversy after a private video was leaked online.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, showed Egungun in a compromising position.
In the footage, the social media personality was brushing his teeth while on a video call with an unidentified light-skinned woman.
Egungun, who was dressed in shorts, then exposed his private parts to the lady on the call.
Shortly before the video went viral, Pashotah, his wife, had raised the alarm over a blackmail attempt involving Egungun.
In an Instagram post, she said a Snapchat user screen-recorded a private video Egungun mistakenly shared on their story.
Pashotah also shared a WhatsApp message sent by the blackmailer threatening to release the footage unless their demands were met.

“However, I’m not ignoring it today because this blackmailer didn’t go to Egungun of Lagos directly to blackmail him; instead, he came to me because he had a motive to shame me, as he said in his messages above,” the post partly reads.
“But one thing he doesn’t know is that this relationship between myself and my husband isn’t just built on love or something we built today.
“This relationship grew over 6-8 years when we both had nothing. It is built on trust, understanding, loyalty, commitment, and so much more, so nothing can bring us down—not even now.
“As you all know, Egungun of Lagos has never had any scandals online. He is a free-spirited person, humble to the core, a philanthropist, a kind man, and a big giver, with an emphasis on BIG. So, I don’t call this a scandal because it’s a private video meant to be sent to me, his wife, but somehow it got out, and someone is using it to blackmail ME, not my husband, who’s in the picture.
“One thing I want the world to know is that my husband has never cheated on me (and vice versa).”
Pashotah said she remains resolute, adding that her marriage to Egungun is “built on trust, understanding, loyalty, commitment”.
“I’m publicly saying this, and even if he has, life goes on because you can’t shame me with it. I shoot 80% of his videos, I walk up to girls with big buttocks and boobs to shoot with my husband, I’ve met with 80 per cent of the girls in his interviews, and I made him start this interview series with BBL girls. My husband won’t say anything about this matter because they’re not blackmailing him, but me, his wife,” she continued.
“This blackmailer shouldn’t even think this video will break my marriage with him because it won’t. I’m not bothered about it, so he (the blackmailer) shouldn’t expect a penny from me because I have none to give. I don’t need anybody’s opinions, as our life is being put out as another story or gossip of the day. But this is me explaining the situation to our lovers and those who look up to us. This is a private video meant for his wife and me while he was travelling, but it got out one way or another. It’s an old video, but I don’t care. All I know is that I trust my man.
”That doesn’t change the fact that I’ll still post my man tomorrow and write ‘LOML’ as the caption because I know he loves me so much and will never hurt me (and vice versa). I’m just dropping this here because that’s what the blackmailer also plans to do if I don’t give him money.”
Egungun, who appeared unbothered by the controversy, shared a video showing himself dancing to Zlatan and Olamide’s song ‘Gimme Your Love’ with a woman in his living room.
