Famous American social media influencer, Waoh Vicky, who gained notoriety in 2017 for her controversial content, which included using racial slurs and claiming to be Black despite her Caucasian background, has again incurred the wrath of Nigerians over her insensitive X posts.

Over the weekend, Ms Vicky, who spent part of the festive period in Lagos, claimed that she had been kidnapped while in Nigeria and that the perpetrators were asking for $1 million in ransom.

After being called out, she claimed it was just a "prank" in a series of deleted posts saying she was bored. This attempt to downplay the seriousness of her actions further angered many Nigerians.

Yet again, she has sparked mixed reactions while writing about her experience post-vacationing in Nigeria on X; she addressed the nation's struggles and the need for support.

In her tweet, she said her visit exposed her to "the high level of poverty and the people's struggles" in Nigeria. Some have considered the post-berating, while others support it.
