Nigerian singer Oxlade went on a podcast with Joey Akan, and he had a lot to get off his chest. The singer revealed that he went into rehab, following a tape that captured his intimate moments with a lady. He stated that the rational behind his stay in rehab wasn’t the backlash he received after the tape went public, but it was the voice of his mother, who was clearly disappointed in him.
Oxlade’s mother is not actually his biological mum, just as the singer revealed, but she’s his grandmother who raised him since he was a child. This piece of information is not something the singer has revealed before, and it is clear that it took a lot of courage to do so.
According to Oxlade, during his stay in rehab, he had no access to his phone and social media account. He said he basically cut himself away from the world and had no contact for a while.
In another part of the interview, Oxlade mentioned that he had accepted his faith as being someone that had fallen off his career path, and that no one needs to tell him because he is aware himself.
The saga that led to Oxlade going to rehab was indeed a scandalous one in 2022 when the tape came out. It was a trending topic on social media when it came out, with fans taking sides with him, while others castigated him. Oxlade was silent about the issue, and it went flat for a while, but that might soon change because this interview will unearth the topic once again.
