Personally, I have chanced upon the video of Rashida Black Beauty on a Facebook page, highly 'unladylike' and I'm unenthused about this current crop of development where people crave for fame by doing something 'spectacular' to their followers and/or fans.
However, I sense and believe that, this widely shared video of Rashida could be black mail and calculated attempt to 'punish' as well as dent her 'publicity' which she gained, after the incident with her EX boyfriend which hit the media some few months ago.
Judging from the video myself, it looks like an old one, there's a vast difference considering her stature in the video and that of her current physique upon her fame.
Honestly speaking, Rashida at the first place recording herself is condemnable and shouldn't be encouraged by all and sundry.
Again, it should also serve as a wary to our fine ladies who fancy sharing their nudes with their supposed boyfriend(s) for the sake of love. Most ladies are secretly doing that for the of fear losing their relationship. It's highly uncharacteristic to do that, and what kind of love is it at the first place for people to prove their worth and affection to their lovers through the exchange of nudes?
Unfortunately, this video has really gone viral, as most people, including prominent media enthusiasts have picked it up. Let's try our best not to recirculate the video, and also halt the harsh criticisms and backlash which is been unleashed on her.
In the mean time, I would be waiting for Rashida to release an official communique with regard to this video and her reasons for doing that, since my early assertions might be wrong.
I wouldn't be surprised to see or hear Entertainment Shows across the country using this unfortunate incident as a review on their show tomorrow. I feel sad for Rashida!
Social media has become a powerful tool, which can make and unmake people at the same time. Let's be cautious and circumspect with the kind of content we share on daily basis.
"We can all be famous at a point in time but just a one second of mistake can erase the respect and admiration which have been earned from people. Let's be conscious at all time!"
