I thought my career ended after 2022 sex scandal — Isbae U

Content creator Isbae U, also known as Adebayo Ridwan, has spoken about the challenging period he faced amidst a sex-for-roles controversy and leaked videos in 2022. At that time, Isbae U felt his career might be ending, as the backlash made him fearful. He revealed that while some people once praised him, they suddenly turned negative.

Isbae U even questioned his fellow content creator, Mr. Macaroni, "Is this the end?" due to the powerful influence of influential individuals in his life. The article highlights the harsh criticism Isbae U faced from people who previously supported him, emphasizing that the public is judgmental and vocal.

To overcome this, Isbae U focused on improving his craft and becoming a better person, prioritizing entertainment for his audience. He stepped back from sharing personal details and continued providing them with content. His goal with interviews was not just to ask typical questions but to reveal a different side of celebrities to the public. Isbae U expressed a desire to interview former President Donald Trump, stating, "The idea of Curiosity Made Me Ask is to show you another part of this celebrity you've not seen."

In 2022, the gossip site GistLover accused Isbae U of refusing to pay a woman who claimed he had promised to send her money after explicit video calls. The woman also shared explicit videos of Isbae U, demanding they be posted due to his refusal to pay. Isbae U later issued a public apology.
