Nigerian musician Adams Olabode Michael, widely recognized by his stage name Super Smada, is currently embroiled in controversy within the Nigerian Twitter Community (referred to as X), stemming from a heated exchange with X user @mimololuwamii. The source of the turmoil lies in Smada's decision to share a private video of the user without her consent.

The female user, who was once a fervent fan of Smada, expressed her discontent with the artist following a rape allegation leveled against him in January of the same year. She had previously described his music as "nursery rhymes."
Smada, evidently unhappy with her characterization of his music, countered by sharing screenshots from when she was still a fan. In response, she clarified that those exchanges had occurred before the rape allegations, and she no longer held the same appreciation for his music. It was at this point that Smada posted a semi-nude video of the lady, dancing to one of his songs, captioning it "song wey nearly make you strip."
The lady swiftly retorted, asserting that she had never given her consent for him to publicly share the video, as it had been sent privately to him via Snapchat. She deemed his actions as unacceptable and invasive.[/p>
In the wake of severe backlash from numerous Nigerians on the X platform, Smada removed the post and issued an apology, seeking to ameliorate the situation.

Nevertheless, this incident has escalated, with Kiki Mordi, an Emmy-nominated Investigative Reporter, intervening and reaching out to the Domestic & Sexual Violence Response Team in Lagos, tagging the situation as revenge porn.
Smada, for his part, has reaffirmed his innocence in response to a tweet from the Lagos DSVA, the official account of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Agency, comparing the video in question to revenge porn.[/p>
