A romantic engagement post by controversial OnlyFans creator Le Witch went viral on X (formerly Twitter), stirring heated reactions across Nigeria. Shared by media users the post showed Le Witch in a red dress dancing with her fiancé under floral arches and candlelight.
But what should have been a joyful moment quickly turned into a trending controversy, revealing a deep divide between modern relationships and Nigeria’s traditional values.
Le Witch, known for posting adult content on OnlyFans—a platform that reportedly paid over ₦1.2 billion to Nigerian creators in its first year, according to Nairaland—has long drawn mixed reactions online.
Her sudden engagement shocked many, and shortly after the announcement, she deactivated her account. This move only fueled more debate and speculation.
Social Media Reaction Over Le Witch’s Engagement Announcement
Some X users, like abazwhylzz, joked about what would happen to her OnlyFans subscribers, while others, such as lordfuture042, guessed her fiancé might be from Anambra, highlighting common regional stereotypes. Her nickname “Le Witch” also touched a nerve, linking to deep-rooted beliefs in witchcraft in Nigeria.
As the BBC has reported, such labels can be harmful and even lead to violence, despite laws banning witchcraft accusations.

Activists like Leo Igwe have long warned about the dangers of such rhetoric.
The backlash points to a larger cultural conflict in Nigeria. Traditional communities often place strong importance on morality, marriage, and public behavior.
In towns like Ubulu-Uku, for example, relationships are seen as sacred, as noted in a 2025 report on ozikoro.com.
To critics, Le Witch’s career as an adult content creator goes against these values, with some calling her a “whore,” as user fimlex2 put it.
However, others see her engagement as part of a bigger story, one of love, change, and second chances. While this idea may be widely accepted elsewhere, in Nigeria it’s often met with judgment, especially on platforms like X.
A 2025 Cambridge Core study explains how X encourages fast-paced, large-scale shaming, often harsher than what’s found on more closed communities like Reddit.
The romantic setup in her engagement photos, a heart-shaped flower arch, city skyline, and soft lights, clashed with the angry comments online. Some users, like blackman_3, mocked her transformation into a “Wifey,” while josy called for prayers for her future husband.
Deactivating her account may have been an attempt to avoid the backlash, but the conversation hasn’t stopped. Her name continues to trend as Nigerians debate love, morality, and freedom of choice in the age of social media.
This story highlights how social platforms like X can turn private moments into public battles, especially in a country where modern lifestyles often collide with long-standing cultural values.
As Le Witch begins a new chapter, her engagement remains a powerful example of how personal choices can spark national conversations.
