On Thursday, an X user identified as Femzydr1 posted that the actress allegedly links young women to top film directors, movie executives and politicians.
The post further claimed that she used those connections to enter the political space and that some of the women involved were taken advantage of.
“Popular Yoruba Actress Eniola Badmus is reportedly a private pimp in Nigeria and in the movie industry, linking young girls up with top directors, movie executives, and Nigerian politicians,” the tweet reads.
“She surely gained entry into the political scene through this network, and many young girls have been exploited & used for different purposes by politicians through her connections.”
In her response, Eniola Badmus denied the claims, calling them false and harmful.
She warned that the matter would be handled by the authorities and made it clear she would not forgive the accusation.
“This is the attention you’ve been craving for, so let’s get in to it. This is a false accusation and authorities will step in. Let it be known that we do not forgive in this zone,” she wrote.
Shortly after, the same user posted an apology, admitting that the allegations were untrue, irresponsible and not supported by any evidence.
He expressed regret for making the claims and apologised to Badmus, her family, fans and others affected by the post.
“I sincerely apologize to Ms. Eniola Badmus, her family, friends, fans, and everyone affected by my recent tweet,” the post reads.
“The post accusing her of exploitation, linking young girls to movie and political figures, and pimping was wrong, irresponsible, and made without evidence. I deeply regret spreading such damaging and false information.”
This is not the first time the actress has dealt with defamatory statements or considered legal action over them.
