Veteran Nigerian rapper William Orioha, known as 2Shotz, recently opened up about how an assault allegation by actress Beverly Osu dramatically affected both his career and personal life. Speaking on the Teju Babyface Show, he explained that the incident occurred before his marriage and had far‑reaching consequences he never anticipated.
According to 2Shotz, Osu had appeared in one of his music videos and frequently visited his home. Their relationship later soured, and during a heated argument he claimed his hand “accidentally brushed her face.” Osu interpreted the incident as physical assault, and the story quickly spread. The fallout was severe: he lost endorsement deals, faced public criticism, and saw his personal relationships deteriorate.
2Shotz emphasized that the incident was misrepresented and insisted he has never been a violent person. He described the episode as one of the darkest moments of his life, noting that it derailed his music career and strained his personal connections. The aftermath left him in financial difficulty, resulted in the loss of his home, and caused a significant decline in his mental health. He said he was accused of many false claims, which led to the loss of shows, deals, and other opportunities, and even made him contemplate self‑harm.
The allegation against 2Shotz underscores how such accusations can profoundly impact an individual’s professional trajectory and personal well‑being. While he continues to work on rebuilding his career and reputation, the case raises important questions about the need for due process and accurate representation of events to prevent misinterpretation and misinformation.
