Emerging talent, Oxlade, has penned a heartfelt message addressing the recent controversies surrounding him, including the leaked tape, lawsuit, and the restriction of the late colleague Mohbad's DMs.
In case you missed it, Oxlade faced backlash after sharing a screenshot of his chat with Mohbad, revealing a "restricted" icon on their DMs.
Oxlade clarified that his Instagram account is managed by his record label, and the "restricted" label is a way to distinguish private conversations meant for his eyes only from those related to his career.
He also expressed his dismay at the online bullying he's endured, starting with the leaked intimate tape and the subsequent events that transpired.
Oxlade's Explanation on Restricting Mohbad's IG Account
“The tape was leaked, and I haven't addressed the lawsuit matter yet. I haven't discussed the lost endorsements. I still haven't retaliated. You folks dragged me on TikTok, even called me 'oxtail.' Despite being put on vocal rest for nodules by the doctor, no one seemed to care, but I still didn't react.
On this issue, I won't stay silent. Have you ever wondered how people like me manage their DMs? We have teams. I restrict specific accounts to only be accessible by me and my phone, so only I can respond. I'm not trying to clear my name; I'm presenting you with the facts. I've lost a friend, and I can't even grieve properly because elders and blogs want to use me for clickbait.
You claim to fight against bullying, yet you're bullying me. It doesn't add up. I won't speak on this matter again, please. Let's focus on seeking justice. Please, use your time more constructively and let others live their lives.
Note: I only restrict accounts I have a personal relationship with because my label manages my account to avoid missing important bookings and business discussions. So, the "restricted" label signifies to my label that the messages from these accounts are private and come from close friends.
Since the incident unfolded, I've been receiving death threats, but I don't take them personally because everything happens for a reason. You can silence me with a scandal, but you can never extinguish my light. 'Mole season for a reason. Love; Gaza.”
