๐ฅ Controversies
๐ Bobrisky Chat Leak and Fallout
In 2024, Radiogad became embroiled in a dramatic controversy with popular crossdresser Bobrisky (Idris Okuneye). Initially, Radiogad was seen in leaked chats using affectionate terms like “my love”, “dear”, and complimenting Bobriskyโs looksโimplying a flirtatious or cozy rapport. These messages were exposed by Bobrisky himself, raising public curiosity about Radiogad’s intentions.
However, things quickly turned sour when Radiogad accused Bobrisky of faking his imprisonment after he was reportedly sentenced to six months in jail. Radiogad alleged that Bobrisky had bribed officials to avoid incarceration and was, in fact, staying in a private apartment.
To substantiate this claim, Radiogad released voice notes and screenshots of chatsโallegedly leaked by a close friend of Bobriskyโsuggesting corruption within the Nigerian justice system. Bobrisky clapped back by publicly sharing earlier flattering messages from Radiogad, thereby challenging his credibility and exposing possible double standards.
Radiogad later explained that he turned against Bobrisky because he felt “used and unappreciated” for his earlier support.
๐ Feud with VeryDarkMan (VDM)
Radiogad also picked a fight with controversial social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM). He accused VDM of hypocrisyโclaiming that despite calling out others for sexual misconduct, VDM had allegedly slept with Jojo of Lele during their Abuja meet-up. Radiogad claimed that hotel staff at the venue witnessed the encounter and were ready to testify. The situation generated heated debate online, but VDM did not publicly address the allegation.
๐ฅ Content Style & Controversial Commentary
Radiogad has positioned himself as one of Nigeriaโs most outspoken and divisive media personalities, often creating content that dives headfirst into trending and sensitive social issues. His commentary style is marked by provocative opinions, bold accusations, and a flair for dramaticsโoften blurring the lines between fact and entertainment.
Below are some notable examples of his controversial commentary and social media content:
๐ Davido (OBO)
Radiogad has weighed in on the personal life of Davido (a.k.a. OBO), one of Nigeriaโs biggest music stars. He criticized Davidoโs relationships and lifestyle choices, alleging hypocrisy and irresponsibility. He particularly made headlines when he questioned the morality of Davidoโs fatherhood, claiming that Davido projects a wholesome image online while engaging in behavior unworthy of his influence.
While many fans saw this as an unnecessary attack on a beloved figure, others viewed it as Radiogad simply โsaying what others are afraid to say.โ
โ๏ธ VeryDarkMan (VDM)
Radiogad has maintained a volatile relationship with social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM). Beyond their feud over Jojo of Lele, Radiogad has gone further to accuse VDM of being secretly gay, despite VDMโs public advocacy for traditional masculine values.
Radiogad even alleged that VDM mistreated a young boy caught defecating on the street in Lagos. In the viral incident, VDM was seen confronting the boy harshly, and Radiogad condemned him for itโclaiming the treatment was โdehumanizingโ and an attempt to create content at the expense of the vulnerable.
He framed it as a broader conversation on performative activism, accusing VDM of using โstreet credibilityโ as a smokescreen for controversial behavior.
๐ Bobrisky
The clash between Radiogad and Bobrisky remains one of his most defining feuds. What began as seemingly affectionate interactions (with leaked messages showing Radiogad using pet names) turned into full-blown exposรฉ content, where he accused Bobrisky of faking his prison sentence.
He claimed Bobrisky bribed officials and never served timeโalleging instead that he stayed in a luxurious private apartment during his supposed incarceration. The fallout led Bobrisky to leak earlier chats and voice notes from Radiogad, showing him in a flattering and possibly flirtatious light, raising questions about Radiogadโs motives and identity.
๐ฌ Blessing CEO
Radiogad has also publicly clashed with Blessing CEO, a self-proclaimed relationship therapist. He has called her a fraud, labeling her advice as “dangerous” and “emotionally manipulative.” Their feud intensified during the Bobrisky drama, as Blessing CEO came to Bobriskyโs defense, accusing Radiogad of clout chasing.
Radiogad, in turn, ridiculed her past relationship scandals and questioned her qualifications to advise anyone on relationships, accusing her of being part of a toxic influencer culture that thrives on fabricated trauma stories.
๐ Criticism of Blessing CEO
Radiogad frequently criticizes Blessing CEO, another controversial figure in Nigerian relationship and lifestyle commentary. Their exchanges have been laced with mutual mockery and accusations, particularly around issues of authenticity and credibility. Blessing CEO, on her part, defended Bobrisky during his feud with Radiogad, further deepening their personal rivalry.
โ ๏ธ Criticism of Content Ethics
Many Nigerians have expressed concerns that Radiogadโs content strategy is rooted in controversy for visibility, with little regard for accuracy or the reputational harm it may cause. His repeated use of accusatory language, leaked chats, and suggestive insinuations has led to calls for him to be deplatformed or regulated.
Still, Radiogad maintains a loyal following who see him as a “voice of the streets”โsomeone willing to say what others wonโt.
๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Personal Life and Sexuality
Radiogadโs personal life, particularly his sexuality, has long been a topic of speculation within Nigerian online spaces. Much of this stems from his flamboyant personality, theatrical expressions, and his use of affectionate languageโnotably in leaked messages to controversial Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky, where he referred to him using terms like โmy loveโ and โdear.โ
These interactions sparked widespread rumors that Radiogad might be gay or at least bisexual, especially given the context of Nigeriaโs conservative culture and strict laws against same-sex relationships. Critics and fans alike have pointed to his openness around gender-fluid conversations and the absence of any publicly known romantic relationships with women as further evidence fueling the speculation.
Despite the buzz, Radiogad has never publicly confirmed or denied these assumptions. He continues to present himself as a heterosexual man and has not directly addressed questions about his sexual orientation. In interviews and online discussions, he tends to deflect or downplay the topic, often focusing instead on his brand and content.
While some see this ambiguity as a deliberate social media strategy to stay relevant and stir controversy, others argue it reflects his personal freedom in expressing himself without conforming to labels. Either way, Radiogadโs sexuality remains a subject of intrigue and debate, with opinions deeply polarized across Nigerian social media.
๐ Current Residence
Though based in Nigeria for much of his career, Radiogad relocated to the United Kingdom in late 2024, where he has continued to produce content and stir online discourse.
โ ๏ธ Criticism and Social Media Strategy
Radiogad is often accused of creating controversial or misleading content to increase his visibility and social media following. Critics claim that many of his statements are unverified or exaggerated, but supporters argue that his fearless approach to speaking out makes him a unique and necessary voice in Nigerian media.
