Popular Nigerian social media personality Papaya Ex reportedly broke down in tears after claiming that one of her YouTube movies had been deleted, wiping out millions of views and thousands of comments.
In an emotional statement, Papaya Ex said the project represented months of hard work and personal sacrifice, revealing that she had fasted for 30 days while working on the movie.
“All my hard work is gøne. This guy has ruined me. My YouTube manager deleted my Spotlight movie with 2.7 million views and 10k comments. I fasted for 30 days for this project,” she said.
According to Papaya Ex, the movie, titled Spotlight, had accumulated about 2.7 million views and 10,000 comments before it was allegedly removed from her YouTube channel.
The social media personality expressed deep frustration over the reported deletion, describing the movie as the product of significant effort and sacrifice.
Her claim has since generated reactions online, with supporters expressing sympathy and questioning what may have led to the reported removal of the content.
However, details surrounding the alleged deletion remain unclear. It is not immediately established why the movie was removed, whether it was permanently deleted or temporarily taken down, or what role the YouTube manager allegedly played in the decision.
Papaya Ex’s claim about fasting for 30 days also highlights the personal commitment she says went into the production.
The development has sparked a wider conversation among content creators about ownership of digital content, access to YouTube channels and the importance of clearly defined responsibilities between creators and their managers.
For now, the circumstances surrounding the reported disappearance of Spotlight remain unclear, while Papaya Ex’s emotional reaction continues to attract attention across social media.
