Cute Abiola receives criticism for her wife’s birth video
Influencer Cute Abiola has sparked outrage after sharing a graphic video of his wife’s childbirth surgery on YouTube.
The hour-long video, which captures the couple’s emotional journey, has prompted accusations of exploiting a private moment for personal gain.
In one of the most emotional moments on the surgery day, Cute Abiola is seen outside the theatre, visibly distressed as he offers prayers for his wife’s safety.
“So my wife is in the theatre already… I beg you God, please. I wish my wife safe delivery. I wish she comes out well. There should be no complications,” he said, his voice shaken.
He revealed that the procedure was his wife’s third surgery in four years, raising concerns among viewers about the physical and emotional toll.
Critics argue that Cute Abiola crossed a boundary by recording and sharing the intimate experience, with some questioning the video’s intent.
- Enick said, “Sorry if this hurts, but we don’t care. We’re just strangers online faa, why do you feel the need to keep updating us about your life? It’s your family, man. We don’t need to know omo una gan sef”
- Tosin Olugbenga, wrote, “The level of shamelessness in this our generation is alarming. A life episode that should be a private moment forever. You set up cameras and recording throughout the entire episode. It’s very unfortunate”.
The video has also raised concerns about the health implications of repeated surgeries, as Cute Abiola’s wife underwent her third procedure in four years.
While some defended the decision, framing it as a testimony of faith and resilience, others criticised the growing trend of monetising personal struggles on social media.
Otunba Kappachino said also, “Your dey use your wife vulnerable moment as content. Make we still go watch as your wife born for YouTube. Nothing wey una no dey monetize”.
ThaBoyYom, wrote, “Watch full video on youtube azin, you wan monetize her pain ? So wait.. After we watch and subscribe, you’ll have to lowkey wish her more agony so you can have more content for your subscribers yea ?”
Concerns were also raised about the health implications of repeated surgeries.
Kunmi Bello advised caution, saying,”Congratulations… however please stop here, it’s not ideal to go through 1 CS, let alone 3 CS.”
In a more reflective take, Saliu Adekunle criticised the broader culture of oversharing.
“In Nigeria, it feels like everything must be monetised, even personal struggles… we need to bring back limits.”
Another user defended Cute Abiola, viewing the video as a testament to the couple’s faith and resilience.
Tate Michael commended the couple, saying, “Your wife is a strong woman… many pregnant women would be encouraged.”
