The Nigerian social media space is on fire again, and this time, it’s because of Egungun of Lagos, the content creator who has kept many of us laughing through tough times. A private video allegedly involving him has made its way to the internet, and as usual, Naija Twitter and Instagram are not holding back.
Egungun, whose real name is Kuye Adegoke, is well-known for his hilarious skits that highlight everyday Nigerian life. But instead of cracking ribs, this incident is breaking the internet. Some people are shouting, “Clout-chasing gone wrong!” while others are calling it a malicious act to tarnish his hard-earned reputation.
The video, which has been trending under hashtags like #EgungunOfLagosScandal and #PrivacyInvasion, has split fans into two camps. There are those who say, “Na setup,” and others who believe the creator might need to address the matter fully.
In his first reaction since the story broke, Egungun took to his Instagram Stories to plead with fans for understanding. “This is a complete invasion of my privacy,” he wrote, promising to take legal action. But while some are empathizing with his situation, others are asking questions. “Egungun, why now? Wetin happen?!”
What’s interesting is how this saga is bringing up deeper conversations about privacy in the digital age. People are asking: Are celebrities really safe anymore? If Egungun can face this kind of wahala, who’s next?
Meanwhile, social media detectives (you know Naija folks love gist and investigation) are already trying to trace the source of the leak. Many are pointing fingers at possible frenemies or even a deliberate PR stunt. “If na cruise, Egungun no try o!” a fan commented on Facebook.
What we do know is that the incident is a reminder that our online footprints—and even offline moments—are no longer as private as we might think. This isn’t just a wake-up call for Egungun of Lagos but also for every content creator and public figure out there.
For now, fans can only hope Egungun bounces back from this. After all, this is Naija, where “everybody go dey alright last last.” Whether it’s a scandal, a stunt, or plain bad luck, Egungun of Lagos has the nation watching.
