Afrobeats artist Olaitan Abdulrahman Ikuforiji, known as Oxlade, recently revealed the detrimental impact of his past actions on his career. In a candid interview with Joey Akan, Oxlade disclosed how his involvement in certain incidents led to the loss of endorsement deals worth over N400 million. He shared the emotional toll of the situation, recounting how he had to pay a blackmailer and witnessing his grandmother's distress, which prompted him to seek mental health support at a rehabilitation center in London.
The singer expressed the profound effect the ordeal had on his relationships, highlighting that he had to sever ties with individuals he once considered close. Oxlade emphasized the betrayal he felt, noting that the experience taught him a valuable lesson about trust and loyalty. Despite the challenges he faced, he found some relief when the details of his past were made public, as it put an end to the blackmail he was enduring.
Reports highlighted how Oxlade's private life was exposed when a s3x tape was leaked online by an unidentified individual. This breach of privacy not only led to financial losses but also triggered a series of events that profoundly impacted Oxlade's mental well-being and relationships.
