Rapper D-Black has revealed the challenges he faced with family and friends following the leakage of his alleged adult tape on social media.
In the latest episode of the “Uncut with D-Black” show, he shared his experience, including the decision to ignore calls from his mother.
“It happened during COVID when I was stuck in America. I didn’t know that the person I was dealing with was bipolar. She did that,” D-Black explained, referring to the lady who leaked the tape. “I didn’t realize my voice was in the video because you don’t see me doing anything. It was until the next morning that I watched it myself.”
When the news broke, D-Black said he found himself inundated with calls, including multiple missed calls from his mother. Despite the familial concern, he chose not to answer any calls.
“So when it happened, I didn’t know what to do. My mother was calling me. Everybody was calling me but I didn’t pick up anybody’s call,” he recounted. “I woke up to like 300 missed calls. I was like, which lie do I tell my mom? I said I’m not going to pick up anybody’s call.”
To mitigate the fallout from the scandal, D-Black swiftly took action by contacting a director to expedite the release of a new music video. “As soon as it happened, I called a director. That’s the only person I called. I said the video has to drop tomorrow, so make all the talking change to something else,” he revealed. “Because I had not released a video in a while. I’ve tried as much as possible to be clean, but this was the first scandal I had been involved in.”
In September 2020, a video allegedly leaked by a lady purportedly involved in a sexual relationship with D-Black made waves on social media. Despite the gravity of the situation, D-Black chose to maintain a lighthearted approach, making jokes about it on social media.
