The mother of former Big Brother Naija star Angel Smith has addressed the controversy surrounding the circulation of alleged private videos linked to her daughter on social media.
The videos, which sparked widespread reactions online, were accompanied by several unverified claims. In response, Angel’s mother took to Snapchat to clarify one of the allegations after she was seen smoking in the background of one of the clips.
According to her, the substance was prescribed for medical purposes following a surgical procedure she underwent in 2022. She explained that she had surgery to remove a lipoma, a non-cancerous fatty lump, and was later prescribed medical marijuana after conventional pain medication failed to provide adequate relief.
She stated that the prescription was intended to help manage post-surgery pain and discomfort, adding that she would not further address the issue publicly.
Angel’s mother also dismissed other claims circulating online regarding her relationship with her daughter, describing them as false and offensive.
The controversy erupted after alleged private footage said to involve Angel Smith surfaced online on Wednesday night, quickly becoming a trending topic across social media platforms. However, the source of the videos and the circumstances surrounding their release remain unclear, while their authenticity has not been independently verified.
The incident has reignited conversations about digital privacy, cyberbullying, and the dangers of sharing personal content without consent. Many social media users have called for restraint, urging others not to repost or distribute the material.
The development comes amid an ongoing public dispute between Angel Smith and her estranged partner, Tumininu Azeezat Osiefa.
In previous social media posts, Angel accused her former partner of orchestrating the arrest of her mother over a disagreement involving a vehicle she claimed was gifted to her and registered in her name. She further alleged that her ex-partner had engaged in harassment and spread misleading information about her to friends, family members, and online followers.
As of the time of this report, the allegations made by both parties have not been independently verified, and no official statement has been issued by relevant authorities regarding the dispute.
With public attention still focused on the fallout from the highly publicized breakup, the emergence of the alleged private videos has added another layer of controversy to an already contentious situation.
