An Ikeja High Court in Lagos State has awarded N5 million damages against a Nigerian singer, Ikuforijimi Olaitan Abdulrahman, known professionally as Oxlade, over a leaked sex tape with a woman identified as John Blessing on social media.
In a judgment delivered on the 24th of January, 2023, Justice Olalekan Oresanya described the act of the musician secretly recording having sex with a woman as “despicable, horrendous, classless and distasteful.”
Oxlade’s sex video surfaced on social media without the woman’s consent.
The leaked tape sparked outrage and forced Oxlade to tender a public apology to the woman involved and his fans.

Justice Oresanya also berated the singer for treating the judicial process with disrespect and accused his counsel of aiding him in desecrating the temple of justice.
The judge who entered the Terms of Settlement dated 11th of January, 2023, ordered Oxlade to pay the sum of N5 million damages to Blessing in two installments of N3 million and N2 million, respectively.
