Pashotah, the wife of the famous content creator known as Egungun of Lagos, has been receiving heavy criticism on social media after she publicly supported her husband following the leak of a controversial video.

The video, which quickly went viral, showed Egungun brushing his teeth during a video call with an unknown woman. While on the call, he accidentally exposed himself, leading to a flood of reactions online. The video was leaked by an angry woman who seemed upset with him.

Despite the viral backlash, Pashotah took to social media to defend her husband. She accused the woman of trying to blackmail Egungun and expressed her belief that the situation was being blown out of proportion.

She wrote, “Hi guys, someone is blackmailing me with my husband’s videos. My name is Pashotah and y’all know who my husband is, obviously I know so many people have wanted to bring both of us down including guys and girls.

“I always choose to ignore but I’m not ignoring today cuz the blackmailer didn’t go to Egungun of Lagos directly to blackmail him but he came to me instead cos he has a motive of putting me to shame like he said in his messages above but one thing he (blackmailer) doesn’t know is that this relationship between myself and my husband is not just built today, this relationship has been coming for over 6-8 years when we both had nothing.

“This relationship is built on trust, understanding, loyalty, commitment and so many more. So there is nothing that can bring us down, not even now.”

However, many social media users did not agree with her defense. Many criticized Pashotah for standing by her husband, arguing that his actions were inappropriate and deserving of accountability. The online debate continues to spark conversation about how public figures and their families respond to controversies.

An X user, identified as #Dr Penking on X.com wrote, “So Egungun wife watched that video and still had the temerity to come out and defend him? I thought we all agreed that Nigerian women now know their worth. Where was she when that decision was made? ”
