A series of leaked videos featuring Nigerian TikTok influencer Esther Raphael, known as Ama Official Beauty or “The Buba Girl,” has caused a big reaction on social media.
The explicit videos, which appeared online earlier this week, have brought attention to the popular creator and the risks of being famous online.
Raphael, who has over 500,000 followers on TikTok for her fun dance routines and skits, is said to be in the videos doing intimate things.
It is believed that the footage might have come from a live stream, and some people think it was either done on purpose or leaked by accident.
The videos quickly spread on platforms like Twitter, Telegram ( Naija Leaks) and Reddit, as well as some edited versions on TikTok, even though they break the rules of most social media sites.
People close to the situation say that Raphael was targeted by blackmailers about a year ago, who threatened to release the videos if she didn’t do what they wanted.
She refused to give in, and now she is at the center of a viral scandal. Some people online have accused her of leaking the videos herself as a way to gain more followers, while others are defending her and speaking against the invasion of her privacy.
In response, Raphael has mostly stayed calm. She posted on Instagram with messages that seem to show she is unfazed by the drama. One post said, “All of us go dey alright las,” which suggests she is not worried.
She also shared a short video of herself looking relaxed, along with a funny meme, showing that she can laugh about the situation.
The incident has started many conversations online. Some supporters have praised her for being strong, with one fan saying, “She’s showing the haters she’s stronger than this.”
