Oga Obinna Sparks Outrage After Broadcasting Willy Paul’s Private Financial Plea Live on Air

Media personality and comedian Oga Obinna has landed in hot water once again, this time over a viral video in which he is seen exposing a private conversation with musician Willy Paul, popularly known as Pozzeh, during a live broadcast.

The controversial moment occurred during a YouTube livestream when Obinna returned a missed call from Willy Paul. Though the conversation started casually, Obinna quickly informed the singer that he was live on air. Unaware of the situation, Willy Paul continued the chat, asking about a wealthy associate of Obinna’s—one who had previously gifted the media personality a hefty sum in U.S. dollars.

“There’s a guy who gave you dollars—the guy with the G-Wagon. Do you think he can support these artistic projects of mine?” Willy Paul asked, referencing his efforts to fund ongoing music projects.

Obinna responded vaguely, saying he would return the call after the show. Sensing something was off, Willy Paul asked whether their conversation was being broadcast live. Obinna laughed and confirmed it was, prompting an immediate and visibly frustrated reaction from the artist.

“So you mean people will now know that I was asking for money? Stop playing around, bro,” the ‘Njiwa’ singer protested, urgently requesting Obinna to take the conversation off air.

Backlash and Breach of Trust

The clip quickly went viral, sparking a wave of criticism across social media. Many fans condemned Obinna for what they viewed as a blatant violation of trust and a tasteless decision to expose someone’s financial vulnerability for public consumption.

Commenters online expressed sympathy for Willy Paul, noting the challenges artists often face behind the scenes while trying to keep their public image intact.

History Repeating? The Amber Ray Feud

This isn’t the first time Obinna has faced backlash for making private matters public. Just weeks ago, socialite Amber Ray accused him of disrespectful behavior after leaking screenshots of their private conversations on her social media.

According to Amber, the messages revealed what she described as a pattern of dismissive and demeaning remarks from Obinna. She claimed that her decision to go public was provoked by comments Obinna made during a media interview that she believed unfairly criticized her.

“I don’t usually do this, but sometimes you have to show people the kind of energy they give you—especially when you’ve done nothing to deserve it,” she wrote at the time.

Public Trust on the Line

While Obinna has built a brand around bold commentary and unfiltered conversations, his approach continues to draw criticism, especially when it involves the privacy and dignity of others. With mounting calls for accountability, the media figure may find it increasingly difficult to brush off backlash as mere online noise.
