Lagos, Nigeria – October 11, 2025 – In a raw and emotional video that’s sent shockwaves across social media, controversial content creator Mandy Kiss has tearfully pleaded with Nigerians for mercy, claiming shadowy forces are plotting to institutionalize her in a psychiatric hospital under false pretenses. The 25-year-old influencer, real name Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, insists her provocative online antics are just “content” for survival, not signs of mental instability.
The clip, which has racked up millions of views on Instagram and X since its release on October 10, shows Mandy Kiss visibly distraught, her voice cracking as she mixes Yoruba and English in a desperate appeal. “Please Nigerians, have mercy on me, I am not mad,” she sobs, wiping away tears. “I am only looking for a means to earn a living. They want to use a pretext to take me to the psychiatric hospital. I am not mad, I am not mentally ill, I am perfectly okay. Everything I am doing is content, I do it so that I can trend.”
This outburst comes on the heels of a firestorm ignited last month when Mandy announced plans for a Guinness World Record (GWR) attempt: sleeping with 100 men in 24 hours, set for September 30 in Ikorodu, Lagos. What she framed as a bold “marathon sex” stunt for viral fame quickly spiraled into national outrage, with critics branding it immoral, dangerous, and a stain on Nigerian values. The GWR swiftly distanced itself, stating it doesn’t endorse or monitor sexual activities as records, emphasizing that attempts must be “measurable, verifiable, safe, and ethical.”
The backlash peaked when Oba Akintunde Akinyemi, the Eselu of Iselu Kingdom in Ogun State’s Yewa North LGA, penned an open letter to Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on September 26, demanding Mandy’s immediate arrest, a drug test, and psychiatric evaluation. “It is disheartening to see a Yoruba girl from my dear state… planning to embarrass her parents, local government area, and the entire nation,” the monarch wrote, labeling her “mentally unstable” and urging her handover to Ogun Governor Dapo Abiodun for “rehabilitation in a psychiatric hospital to remove her insanity.” The call echoed earlier clashes, including a public spat with a prophetess and her daughter who slammed the stunt as “demonic.”
Mandy, undeterred at first, doubled down in videos flaunting condoms and vowing to proceed despite the rejection, even teasing paid broadcasts of the event. But as petitions mounted and arrest threats loomed, she backpedaled in a September 26 plea: “I was just joking… I can’t sleep with 100 men. Have mercy on me; don’t take me to prison. We don’t have money in my family.” Now, in her latest video, she alleges the psychiatric push is a sinister pretext to silence her amid the fallout.
Adding to the irony, Mandy was recently named an ambassador for the Lagos State Kicks Against Drug Abuse (LASKADA) initiative—a move that drew its own wave of mockery given her persona. In a follow-up clip on October 10, she addressed her “controversial lifestyle,” insisting her online bravado masks a reserved, God-fearing woman from a good family. “I’m not a runs girl or drug user… I am close to God and take my prayer life seriously,” she affirmed, urging followers to separate her digital hustle from her real self.
Social media exploded with reactions, from sympathy (“This girl is just trying to eat in this economy—leave her alone!”) to skepticism (“Content or not, some lines shouldn’t be crossed”). Hashtags like #SaveMandyKiss and #MentalHealthStigma trended, sparking debates on the weaponization of mental health labels against women in the spotlight. Mental health advocates, including the Mental Health Foundation Nigeria, condemned the monarch’s rhetoric as stigmatizing, warning it discourages real help-seeking. “Labeling bold women ‘mad’ silences them—true instability isn’t provocation; it’s untreated suffering,” a spokesperson noted.
As of now, no arrests or institutionalizations have been reported, and Lagos police have yet to comment. Mandy, holed up and “living in fear,” ended her video with a vow: “I’m perfectly okay, but if you push me too far, I’ll fight back.” Her saga underscores the high-stakes tightrope of Nigeria’s creator economy—where virality can feed you or break you. For Mandy Kiss, the real record might be surviving the storm she sparked.
