Nigerian influencer Cute Abiola has come under heavy criticism after uploading a video documenting his wife’s childbirth surgery on YouTube.
The hour-long footage captures moments leading up to and during the delivery, including emotional scenes of the content creator praying outside the operating theatre while his wife underwent the procedure.
In the video, Cute Abiola appeared visibly distressed as he asked for a safe delivery and protection from complications. He also revealed that the surgery marked his wife’s third operation in four years, a detail that has further sparked concern among viewers.
The post has triggered widespread reactions online, with many social media users accusing the influencer of crossing personal boundaries by sharing such an intimate experience publicly. Critics argue that the video reflects a growing trend of turning deeply private moments into online content for views and engagement.
Some commenters questioned the motive behind the upload, suggesting it may have been driven by monetisation rather than awareness or documentation. Others expressed discomfort over the exposure of a vulnerable medical situation.
Concerns have also been raised about the health implications of repeated surgical deliveries, with some users advising caution regarding multiple procedures within a short period.
However, not all reactions have been negative. A section of viewers defended the decision, describing the video as a reflection of faith, resilience, and the realities of childbirth. Supporters noted that such content could inspire or educate others facing similar experiences.
The incident has reignited broader conversations about privacy, ethics, and the limits of sharing personal life events in the age of digital content creation.
