In a statement released on Thursday, Badmus dismissed the allegations as false and attention-seeking, warning that authorities would take action. “This is the attention you’ve been craving for, so let’s get into 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.

Following her response, the individual behind the post, identified as Femzy, issued a public apology. He admitted the claims were baseless and made without evidence, acknowledging the harm caused. “I sincerely apologize to Ms. Eniola Badmus, her family, friends, fans, and everyone affected by my recent tweet. 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,” he stated.

The incident underscores the growing concern over the spread of unverified claims on social media and the reputational damage they can cause.
