Ghanaian rapper and entrepreneur Desmond Blackmore known popularly as D-Black recently revealed the emotional turmoil he endured following the alleged leak of a sex tape in 2020.
The incident, which sent shockwaves across the internet, involved a video posted by an individual claiming a sexual relationship with D-Black.
During a recent episode of his show “Uncut with D-Black,” the artist spoke candidly about the ordeal, explaining that it occurred while he was in America during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite not appearing in the video, D-Black expressed surprise at how his voice was recognizable.
“I didn’t know that this person I was dealing with was bipolar, she did that,” D-Black disclosed, highlighting the unexpected nature of the situation.
He further shared his initial shock upon realising his voice was audible in the leaked tape.
The aftermath of the scandal saw D-Black overwhelmed with calls from concerned friends and family, including his mother. However, he chose not to respond as he grappled with the distressing circumstances.
“When it happened, I didn’t know what to do. Everybody was calling me. My mother was calling me, I did not pick anybody’s call,” he recounted, describing the overwhelming response.
To mitigate the impact of the scandal, D-Black took proactive steps by reaching out to a director for the release of a music video, diverting attention away from the controversy.
“As soon as it happened, I called the 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, emphasising his efforts to move past the incident.
Reflecting on subsequent events, including receiving a fake award from Dr. UN, D-Black acknowledged the challenges of navigating public scrutiny but expressed resilience in overcoming such adversities.
