Here’s How Music Veteran and Grandma, Salawa Abeni Took Power From Blackmailer Who Threatened To Release Her Nudes
Veteran Nigerian singer, Salawa Abeni has outwitted a petty blackmailer who threatened to release nude photos of the grandma from several years ago. The musician who was not having any of it, took to her Instagram account to share the Whatsapp messages that the blackmailer who identified himself as Jason had been sending her; as well as the ‘nude’ photos that he had hoped to share on social media to tarnish her image unless she gave him some money.
Salawa, in her statement said she refuses to be bullied and will not sit back and watch a career she laboured for over 45 years to build be threatened by cheap blackmail.

She wrote as she shared the “nude photos” in which she had a nip-slip;
‘Good morning my Family, friends and Fans. I have something very important to tell you and I will really appreciate your audience.
I am very disappointed that someone somewhere will try to tarnish my image and threaten to destroy my career of over 45 years.
This morning, I received messages from somebody threatening to expose very old pictures of me and in the process, blackmailing me for money.
These could’ve been pictures of me in the hospital or even with my partner, but is this what has become of us??
I plead with everybody out there to be very careful as our current situation has made people very desperate.
I am almost 60 years old, I have worked very hard and made a name for myself for somebody to believe that they can threaten and trample on my feelings, this is very sad.
So I have decided to share the messages and pictures sent by this person with everyone for you all to see!
Thank you and God bless you! For you the blackmailer, I refuse to be bullied by you as I’m sure that I’m old enough to be your MOTHER!!
