High-profile controversy has hit the Nigerian entertainment industry following the weekend wedding of controversial content creator Gehgeh, known for his aggressive anti-marriage campaigns. The online personality, who built a massive following by teaching that legal unions are a "financial mistake," has drawn fierce backlash from colleagues and followers who claim they were severely misled by his online doctrine.

The sudden nuptials, which began circulating in viral videos over the weekend, have sent shockwaves through the celebrity landscape. Many prominent members of the entertainment industry who subscribed to his school of thought are now calling him out for hypocrisy. The content creator had long advised his audience to avoid traditional family structures, urging them to instead opt for casual co-parenting and "baby mama" or "baby daddy" arrangements.

Reacting to the footage, Nollywood actress Evan Okoro—wholly attributing the crash of her own union to his teachings—expressed profound heartbreak and disbelief. Speaking in an emotional video address, she directly blamed the influencer for her recent domestic choices. Okoro confirmed that his rigid stance against family life completely ruined her perspective and fractured her home.

"Gehgeh destroyed my marriage," Okoro stated, referring to her separation in April 2025. "He convinced us that marriage is a scam and a financial trap. He deceived me, and now he has abandoned his followers to get married himself. He explicitly told us that if he ever wed, we should know a woman used voodoo on him."

Popular comedian Cute Abiola also voiced his anger, expressing deep relief for abandoning the influencer`s platform before it ruined his personal life. He questioned the motive behind the sudden change of heart, wondering how many young men had already ruined their futures following the same toxic guidance. Abiola demanded that the content creator return online to explain the sudden shift in principles.

"Thank God I dropped out of his school before I ended up a single father," Cute Abiola stated. "This boy nearly ruined my life a year ago, along with countless other young men who listened to him. He now goes ahead to get married himself. I am waiting for him to come online and explain this in full details."

The wave of criticism has quickly spread across top digital platforms, drawing commentary from media executives and digital peers alike. Prominent entertainment blogger Tunde Ednut openly questioned the authenticity of the ceremony, while online personalities like Tiktoker Salo, Tunde Perry, Carter Efe, and Izzy Ogbeide expressed similar shock. Media veteran Daddy Freeze has also weighed in on the unfolding drama.

Gehgeh has yet to issue an official statement regarding the authenticity of the wedding videos or respond to the allegations of hypocrisy. As public outrage grows, the situation has sparked a broader national conversation regarding the real-world impact of influencer culture on traditional family institutions in Nigeria.
