Kannywood actress, Maryam Booth accuses ex-boyfriend, Deezell of leaking nude video

Kannywood actress, Maryam Booth and her ex-boyfriend, Deezell were involved in some Twitter drama over the weekend.

It all started when a video started to go round on Twitter which showed the popular Hausa actress naked. Her fans reacted to the video, with some supporting her, many bashing her, and others wondering how it had happened.

In the three-second video, Booth can be seen changing before noticing the person with the camera and rushing forward to grab it. Social media users believed that her ex-boyfriend, Ibrahim Ahmed Rufai aka Deezell leaked the video.

Deezell, however, released a statement following the allegations. In the statement, he clarified that he was not responsible for leaking the video and sympathised with Booth, urging her to find whoever was responsible for leaking the video.

His statement caused Booth to release her own statement, where she clarified that Deezell had indeed recorded the video. She also shared that she would take legal action against the person that recorded the video.

What is most damning in her statement, however, is her claim that Deezell had been using the video to blackmail her for three years, threatening to leak the video if she does not pay him.

She wrote:

“I am aware of the current trends and media outrage regarding the unfortunate leaked video, purported to be me, released via number of social media platforms, and viewed by thousands of people so far.

“Initially, I wanted to keep mute until security agencies concluded their forensic research and investigation.

“The recent statement from someone, in person of Ibrahim Ahmad Rufai, popularly known as Deezell, leaves me with no choice but to break the silence. As a woman, actress and role model I will not let this matter to be swept under the carpet.

“For the record, I want to categorically state that this same man (Ibrahim Ahmad Rufai) has been, in multiple occasions threatened to leak my video if I didn’t give him money.

“As a woman, actress and role model to millions, I have been trying to protect my dignity through possible means, but without my knowledge, the three-year-old video was leaked.

“In a situation like this, one need to be very observant before any pronouncement, but it is true that Deezell was my Ex who then sneakily recorded me while I was changing.

“I am already in touch with associates for consultation, which may require taking legal actions against whoever is responsible for leaking it.”
