Former Big Brother Naija housemate Angel Smith has addressed the backlash surrounding a video of her and a mystery lady.
The video, which showed the two in a deep, touchy hug, led many to believe Angel is a lesbian.
In a statement on Snapchat, Angel expressed thoughts on the matter, asserting that being labeled a lesbian isn’t an insult.
She pointed out the irony in society’s priorities, noting that while pedophiles often go unchecked, her relationship and s3xuality are heavily scrutinised.
Angel emphasised that it’s her life, and as an adult, she’s free to make her own choices.
She also highlighted the importance of respecting individual beliefs and differences, stating that she’s not homophobic.
Angel dismissed the criticism, noting that opinions are fleeting and will eventually be forgotten.
She wrote partly on Snapchat: “Nigerians discover that other people don’t share the same politics as them and then lose their minds, like wow calling me a lesbian is not the gag you think it is not is it an insult, bad news my fine ass.

“Mind you, this is my life. You people did not come upon some secret thing. I posted it myself, and I let my friends post it because guess what? It’s probably shocking, but can you imagine that this is my life, and I’m an adult, and I can do whatever I like?
“And that is shocking again; I am not homophobic, and did you guys also know that because you think something is bad doesn’t mean the other person shares the same beliefs as you?
“Did you guys also know that we will die one day,, and your opinions will be nothing more than a whisper caught in the wind? Shocking I know”.
