Nigerian social media star and adult content creator Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, widely recognized online as Mandy Kiss, has recently found herself at the center of a heated public debate following a series of emotional videos circulating online. In the viral clip, Mandy Kiss, visibly distressed, appeals to her followers and fellow Nigerians, asserting her mental soundness and voicing concerns about an alleged plan to admit her to a psychiatric facility against her will.
Through heartfelt pleas in both Yoruba and English, Mandy Kiss insists she is mentally stable and asks for public support. She expresses that ever since announcing her unconventional Guinness World Record attempt, she has felt an increasing sense of fear and unease, worried for her personal safety and mental freedom.
Mandy Kiss clarifies that her infamous Guinness World Record “attempt”—which sparked widespread conversation and strong reactions—was intended strictly for content creation and not as a real effort. She reiterates that it was never her intention to carry out the act, but rather to generate buzz and engagement on her online platforms, a strategy commonly used by influencers and digital creators across Nigeria and the globe.
Speaking candidly in both Yoruba and English, the social media personality takes full responsibility for the content, but pleads for understanding regarding her intentions.
“Please Nigerians, have mercy on me, I am not mad, I am only looking for a means to earn a living, they want to use a pretext to take me to the psychiatric hospital, I am not mad, I am not mentally ill, I am perfectly okay, everything I am doing is content, I do it so that I can trend.”
Previously, Mandy Kiss made headlines when she reportedly shared details about a sensational “plan” to sleep with 100 men in one day. This announcement, intended as part of her bid to go viral and perhaps mimic some of the more outrageous world record attempts seen globally, quickly ignited a social media storm in Nigeria and beyond.

The fallout from this public pronouncement was fast and far-reaching. According to several news outlets, a prominent Yoruba monarch was so perturbed by the viral statement that he officially petitioned authorities, calling for an investigation on the grounds of public morality and decency—issues that hold strong weight in many Nigerian communities.
In a surprising twist, these events led to the Lagos State Government appointing Mandy Kiss as an ambassador for their Kicks Against Drug Abuse (KADA) initiative. While the move sparked further online debate—with supporters and critics weighing in—it reflects how viral controversy can sometimes turn into unexpected opportunities, even in the highly charged environment of Nigerian social media.
For many observers, the story not only highlights the growing influence—and occasional backlash—faced by digital creators in Nigeria, but also brings into focus the wider conversation about mental health and the boundaries of online content.

Reactions as Mandy Kiss cries for help
Nigerians from all walks of life have weighed in passionately in the wake of Mandy Kiss’s recent revelations, with many sharing their support, skepticism, or outright criticism in the public domain and across social platforms. Below are some of the key reactions:
Stella Akinwale Olayiwola said:
“Government thought is only were can do 100 men.”
Modupe Ogungbemi commented:
“At this point I feel for mandykiss oh But you self you get too much shoko for head haba Abeg edakun make una leave mandy alone go carry werey eko oh na that one need rehab.”

The spectrum of reactions demonstrates how issues related to personal freedom, mental health, and public morality can generate fierce debate in the Nigerian context. For every supporter urging understanding or creative license, there are critics highlighting societal standards or warning against unchecked content creation. This split in opinions can be seen in the passionate comments above, as well as in street interviews and radio discussions happening across Lagos, Abuja, and beyond.
Mandy Kiss claps back at prophetess, daughter
Amidst the uproar, Mandy Kiss has also publicly responded to condemnation from a popular prophetess and her daughter, who were among the most vocal critics of her “record attempt.” According to widely shared videos and reports, they denounced her actions as both morally wrong and potentially criminal, urging authorities to take action.
Mandy’s retort was swift. She reiterated that her announcement was meant to provoke thought and discussion as digital content—not to be interpreted literally or as a real-life intention. Nevertheless, the debate continues to rage, with policy analysts and social commentators pointing out that such public disputes between influencers and religious figures are becoming more common in Nigeria’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Nationally, stories like this one open up larger discussions about the balance between creative expression and community standards—themes that play out daily on Nigerian television, radio, and social media. Many Nigerians empathize with the pressures faced by influencers, especially in an economy where going viral can change a person’s fortunes overnight. Still, others call for more regulation or oversight to curb content they view as damaging to the social fabric.
A Lagos-based social media analyst, Tunde Adebayo, explained: “The Mandy Kiss situation underscores what’s happening online in many parts of Africa. Digital content creators often test boundaries. What might attract views and likes in one community could cross a line in another. Nigeria, with its mix of cultures and traditions, feels this tension deeply.”
Others, however, worry about the mental health toll these controversies can take—not just on public figures like Mandy, but on the wider population grappling with anxiety, cyberbullying, and expectations of perfection online. According to a 2023 report by the Nigerian Institute of Mental Health Advocacy, reported cases of cyber-related distress have risen by nearly 20% over the past two years, suggesting a growing need for community-based support and more open dialogue.
Importantly, global observers have noted how viral content from Nigerian creators can influence or mirror trends seen around the world, with debates over personal autonomy, mental health awareness, and freedom of expression echoing in Ghana, South Africa, the UK, and beyond. This growing interconnection means local trends often take on worldwide significance, further raising the stakes—and the scrutiny—facing African digital creators.
As this story continues to unfold, one thing remains clear: the lines between entertainment, activism, and controversy are more blurred than ever, especially in Nigeria’s fast-paced digital age. For Mandy Kiss and others like her, the balancing act between creativity, public perception, and personal well-being is a story still being written.
