1 Yr Later Oxlade Reveals What Happened to Him Behind The Scenes After His Tape Leaked

In February of 2022, Nigerian singer Oxlade was hit with scandal when intimate videos he had recorded of himself, and his sex tape were leaked on the internet. At the time, Oxlade said nothing about the scandal except for one statement he made that said "I am conscious that my business is out in the public and I am not the type of person to put my personal business out there. Betrayals are very real and in this same token I want to apologize to the woman in the video, who did not deserve this type of exposure and lastly apologies to my fans and well wishers."

That was all the singer said at the time. Not too long after this, his song Ku Lo Sa blew up and the conversation around the tape leaked. Now, over one year after, Oxlade is talking a little bit more about the tape scandal and what it actually cost him during a new interview with Tea With Tay. Here's what Oxlade said.

Speaking about his tape leaking and performing Ku Lo Sa two days after that, Oxlade said:

OXLADE: I performed Ku Lo Sa at the Colors show two days after my scandal broke out. Depressed, rejected, outcast, done for. A boy that has accepted defeat and just wants to just sing. If you can watch the performance, I did not open my eyes all through the performance, I dey my realm. Two days after that, I went into rehab. It's not like I was even balanced so Ku Lo Sa is like in your lowest times, God can still bless you. It drowned that conversation, I did not even explain. I don't still explain and I will never explain. As long as mankind dey shit and mess, and they no dey explain, who am I?

"But how did all of it [the scandal] make you feel? Did you lose friendships? Did you lose stuff? What was the mental state you were in post-scandal?"

OXLADE: Beyond friendships, I lost endorsement deals. Brands just dey send me mail - "it's not healthy to be affiliated with you right now" - but that's the game for you. Na who dey hot wey people wan lick their soap. Na life. So like basically, it taught me a lesson that no matter how talented you are, if you go fall, you go fall. And when you go rise, you go rise.
