Late yesterday evening (Wednesday July 14, 2010), social networking website Twitter was buzzing with reports that nude pictures of a man alleged to be Mo Hits recording artiste Wande Coal had leaked to the internet. In the moments that followed that event, the nude picture was retweeted severally until Wande Coal inadvertently became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter.
The picture contained the image of a dark-skinned, slightly obese man, sleeping in the buff and seemingly unaware of his surroundings. The semblance to Wande was uncanny, however there was little other evidence to confirm that the man in the picture was indeed the famed artiste as the individual’s face was slightly turned away from the camera.
In the minutes that followed the release, members of Mo Hits crew went on damage control, claiming that Wande’s detractors were behind the scandal and suggesting that they’d used Photoshop to superimpose Wande’s head on another naked man’s body.
When life gives you lemons, what do you make? As the shock the pictures generated slowly went away, Wande’s colleagues and sympathizers seized the opportunity to upload links to his music on Youtube and iTunes in a bid to milk his sudden (unfortunate) fame and promote the R&B crooner’s music to the world.
Wande’s reps hadn’t issued any statement to the media at press time but be sure to stay tuned to NET as the story develops.

Seen that pix. It aint no phtoshop cos it was clear dat it was taken via a phone. Well at least there is no such thing as bad publicity
#TeamWandeCoal for life…..
When life gives you lemons, what do you make? ICE COLD LEMONADE!!!!!
This too shall pass Wande, keep your head up
Obviously, we pay high price for being in public eyes, i would say that in all bad situation there is a lesson. In this situation both the victim and the rest of us should take away the lesson that never trust your life to anyone, your best friend is not necessary your best friend – someone took that picture – its clear that the person is close or the victim was drunk, either way – he was betrayed by someone close to him.
Take heart, chin up and forge forward.
On a lighter side, you don show them the koko!

BLACK MAMA, YOU JUST REPLIED SOMEONE AND YOU ARE SAYING THIS AIN’T A FORUM TO REPLY PEEPS, I THINK YOU RATHER NEED TO GET SCHOOLED. THIS AIN’T ABOUT MARRIAGE, HOW OLD DO YOU THINK WANDE IS? I KNOW THE REASON WHY YOU ARE CONNECTING THE SITUATION TO MARRIAGE IS BECAUSE YOU IN NEED OF A HUSBAND AND POSSIBLY EYING WANDE COAL…
WANDE KEEP UP THE FAITH…THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN, THIS AIN’T GONNA MAKE ANYONE LOOK DOWN ON YOU DON’T NEED TO FEEL ASHAMED OF YOURSELF CAUSE UNDER OUR CLOTHES, WE ARE ALL NAKED…LOL…WE LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE BRO…!!!
Listen Jay,
I really dont know who pulled you into this discussion o. For your information punk! I’m ecstatically married wit 3, yeah 3 kids, so you had better be sure of ur facts before spitting out trash.
Me, Wande Coal? LMAO! Please! FAR from my type! And Jay or whatever you are called, its only uncivilised people that butt into an argument that they are not invited to. And if you have any sense at all, you will notice that I was replying to another person’s stupid remarks targeted at me.
So if you feel that you still have enough minutes to burn at the cybercafe where you are typing this trash from….BRING IT ON PUNK!
HEY BLACK MAMA OR WHATEVER YOU CALL YOUR FREAKING SELF, i AM JUST TOO CONNECTED TO BE FRUSTRATED SO DON’T THINK i AM LIKE YOU WHO ACCOMPANIES YOUR FRIEND TO A CAFE AND STEALS INTO HER TIME JUST TO REPLY SOMEONE’S COMMENT ON A SITE THAT IS NOT A FORUM…
YOU ARE DEFINITELY JOBLESS AND I GUESS THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY YOUR SINISTER MOTIVE OF TELLING ME TO BRING IT ON…YOU ARE LUCKY I AM NOT BUSY NOW, IF NOT I WOULD NEVER HAVE CONSIDERED EXCHANGING WORDS WITH YOU NITWIT…
AS FOR BEING MARRIED WITH 3 KID, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT(SURROGATE MOTHER WITH A BOYFRIEND I GUESS AND YOU CALL IT MARRIAGE,LMAO…GAL, YOU REALLY NEED TO BE ENLIGHTENED)…JUST GET YOUR MIND OFF WANDE COAL, CAUSE YOU WILL ONLY PASS FOR HIS WHORE.
IMAO…JUST GO GET A JOB AND STAY OUTTA TROUBLE. GRACIAS…!!!
jay, now that was a death blow!! confaam guy
Actually,it's not a big deal.We all saw R kelly,nude in the peodofile case.It didn't affect his career in anyway.His albums even sold a lot more afterwards so it's not a big deal.W.C should just focus his mind on his business,this as tragic as it seems could even help him sell more if he sees it in a positive light
life is full of pain and gain,just have have to be careful.
men Wande u just have to brace urself u have to be strong that shit has even happened to me several times but that doesnt mean u have to feel bad about it just have to look at it from a good perspective after all ur publicity is higher now they have only succeeded in promoting you good luck bro expecting ur next album
I Love Wande Coal and hez songs alot!!!!!……..But Don Jazz,are you kidding me?-Does that in anyway look like a photoshoped picture??????…Well,wot will a brother not do to protect hez brother (i will blame photoshop too if it were my brother)….
Nevertheless,guyz we need to understand that dis is the "in" thing around the globe (Ashley Cole,John Terry e.t.c) now especially on artist/Stars.A man will trade hez/her neighbors negligence to make cool charlie(millions of pounds) from Media who are ready to buy dis pictures to sell..
Wande et al,plz watch out…your our nations pride not just artist
R Kelly survived bcos whites dnt regard nudity as much of a crime. Its turning into a form of fashion 4 them.Nudity is a big deal here in naija. We stil love u wande. I hope u survive this scandal.
hey elsie,
4 u to be a woman and talk like dis! i'm so sori for the unfortunate guy that would marry u. anyway i still stand that if he was married or in a totally committed relationship, dis crap wont have happened. i wont be surprised if you, elsie has played dat kind of sick joke on a guy..u look like the type

lol…this is a bad situation and who ever did it is probably having the laugh of his/her life right now. its human nature to laugh at other peoples misfortune sadly but truely. anyways it wouldnt have been a big deal if the pic was of someone like dbanj he would have used hes raw humour to get out of or even turn the situation to his advantage. thats why its good to be that way sometimes.hehe….
WANDE…………DIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY…….BRACE UP NOTHING DO YOU……………SHAME UR ENEMIES BY SOARING ON………
Now! Should a ban on ill mannered people from using de internet! Expecially foul mouthed ones like "black mama"
People dat turn innocent debt into insult forum should automatcally be removed! Having said dat, back to de issue at hand!
Wande cole, hold ur high, u did not carry drug nor did steal government or rape a child! If some idiot is stupid enough to do de wrong thing, we support
To right it and shame their deeds because tomorrow it could be anyone of us
!
see who should stop using the net? lol…common english u no sabi..lol, dunce! what is debt? dem tell u say wande dey owe person money? mumu..abeg make i help u jare, its a DISCUSSION not debt! lol.
i really suggest ELSIE that u stop posting comments on the net ok? for your own good o, cos u are just displaying ur stunted intelligence.
Hey,
come-on guyz,we arent suppose to be dissing ourselves here or anywhere elses for dat matter……we only meant to voice our comment and i believe every1 has an equal right to hez/her comment..plz guyz cut dis out
@bimmy abi o.but am enjoyin it newayz lmao……………lol
Seriously Jane,i fink its getting hot in here now…….Never had a foresight we were gonna turn Wandes issue into a face-off dissing competiton (despite d fact that hez my ex-husband….lol)
For real,Cant someone just ignore the temptation to reply???? I wont add or lose weight by nobodies comment so why stress ur beautiful manicured fingers replying??.heheheh
Hey Jay,
Common put your hair back on. I can literally see the veins on your neck standing as you type in anger! LMAO! See who doesnt have a job? please tell me.. why are not busy now? Ahem…you’ve just answered your own question…JOBLESSNESS! maybe i could get u one if you are good. LOL
You are just a silly excuse for a man if you can take out “TIME” to sit down and exchange words wit a woman. How sad…didn’t you learn anything growing up?
And dont say what u dont know ok? its not every man dat is as sick as you to have hoards and hoards of whores…just be careful ok, it aint that safe out there.
and rite now, wande is far from the issue anymore, its your poor self i’m actually sori for, giving your self a raised blood pressure, lol. listen, do us all a favour (cos i know we are all tired of hearing your insane rantings) and pay the cafe where you are their money and go home ok? at least if u dont have anything to do, go home and sleep.
CRAZY PUNK!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…RED ASSED MAMA, YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMUSE ME…YOU DON’T EXPECT ME TO WORK OFF MY ASS B4 I GET GOOD MONEY, IS THAT HOW YOUR HUSBAND WORKS? YOUR OBNOXIOUS STATEMENTS ONLY ENHANCE MY GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR IF NOT I WOULD NOT BE EXCHANGING WORDS WITH A LADY…HONESTLY, THEY GOT NOTHING ON ME…!!! YOU’RE SUCH A CHILDISH GAL, I WONDER HOW YOU SQUEEZE OUT TIME TO JUST TYPE UNREASONABLE STATEMENTS, SPEND THAT ABILITY ON A BETTER JOB….LMAO…AND MIND YOU, I DON’T RANT, I DO WHAT I SAY GAL, SO YOU SHOULD GO LOOK UP THE MEANING OF RANTING IN YOUR DIC. AGAIN…I WONDER WHY YOU ARE TRANSFERRING AGGRESSIONS FROM YOUR FAMILY PROBLEMS TO ME, YOU SHOULD HAVE COMMON SENSE TO DISCERN THE FACT THAT I’M JUST A YOUNG DUDE MAKING A GOOD TIME OUTTA LIFE AND I DEFINITELY CAN’T HAVE BP COS OF A CRAZY YOUNG LADY SPITTING WORDS ON IMPULSE…SO I’D ADVICE YOU TO GO SPEND YOUR TIME BUILDING YOUR FAMILY BEFORE IT ENDS UP A WRECK…PLEASE DON’T AGGRAVATE THIS FURTHER CAUSE WE HAVE ALL HAD ENOUGH OF YOU…BONUIT….!!!
mister abi master kay, u really dont have a job? wow! i'm so sori for you! shei u can see now that your brains or whatever is on ur empty head is all twisted? you've just exposed to the whole world wat u do part time? omg! a gigolo! damn…but u shuldn't have said that now….millions are reading this..lol
i aint gat nothin on u punk, i dont even give a flying phat u are..it's your stupidity that i have a problem wit. listen, i run my own business ok, so i'm ma own boss…why dont u get to my level first instead of wasting the valuable time that you would in combing the streets looking for a job.
u're just a little boy wit ur future or whatever is left of it ahead of u, so he's a little advise…. dont waste it. so you dont understand the meaning of a simple word as RANTING? uve got a looong way to go.
and for your information, i have a beautiful marriage that's more than i've ever hoped for, but i guess the girl that would be unfortunate to marry u in say 50 years time will not have the same story to tell
we'll i guess the heat that you experienced trekking in the hot sun has kinda fried what's in your head and ur looking for an oulet right? lmao…quick advice, when your whores come over tonight, unleash it on them ok? cos you're just making an utter fool of yourself!

i cant believe that i've being exchanging words all alone wit a deranged person…omg!
Fat assed and Knuckle headed mama,
I can see how infuriated you are now…Your comments only go to show the extent of your dumbness. I realized from the onset that you are the idiot you have exactly portrayed yourself to be, I just wanted it to be obvious to everyone…I think you should work on your mental relapse..I'm sick and tired of your blabbering and I think everybody else has had it with you…If you are so jobless, IMAO, In the meantime, why don't you go mop a river…!!! Bitch…

I refuse to condescend to your level….INSANITY. So from now on you are talking to urself…oh yeah that's wat ur type do at the psychiatric home..lol
N.B: Anyways I'm not married neither do i have kids, so u've just drawn up a vivid picture of ur future family by trying to describe mine…lmao

Lmao, black mama, I am definitely tired of you…You have finally confirmed how dumb you are by now telling everybody you are not married…See, thats to prove that all the while that you were eying that guy…Hope you are not one of those frustrated girls hunting husbands like hunters hunt antelopes, LMAO…I'd connect you with one if you are ready sha…?

Hey Jay, I would like to thank you very much for taking up the obnoxious "you know who" – and please stay out of her way, she is dangerous hahaha!

Of course I did that with all pleasure and as for her being dangerous, who cares? I am even more dangerous, it will take me nothing to shove her fat ass before anybody can even bat an eyelid…!!!
omg! ive really turned into an overnight celebrity. Everyone seems to be talking bout me! lol!
But SERIOUSLY….don't you guys have anything better to do? Are you all so jobless? Yeah I'm talking to you Elsie and Jay. I just bumped into all these today and I was like shocked! My goodness, can some pple be so jobless? It really beats me, really.
Stupid Elsie, I know you guys must have talked a lot about me after ur romp last night right? my advise, don't send ur gigolos to help u fight ur battles, do them urself aiight?
And back to you crazy Jay, ur dumbness is so..so…whats the word now…advanced. please do try to book an appointment wit a shrink ok? another advice to you, go pick up ur play station ok cos or the internet is no place for children like you. And I'm sure my ass is not half as big as your mother's, you bloody son of a bitch!
Seriously, If exhibiting your idiosyncrasy for no pay is your own idea of being a celebrity, then you are just too shallow-minded and dumb to be a human. I'll pardon you to use the internet but if your guardians ain't around to watch you little brat why don't you just go out and play "my grandmother" with your cohorts cause you are already getting too corrupt for your age…LOL
And as for your fat ass, if you and my mum were placed together, you would honestly want to be reborn..Mofo…!!!
and don't expect me to reply you clowns, cos unlike you I have better things to do wit ma time!
What's wrong with a fat ass???
I've got time to reply you cause I always visit this site during my leisure and it beats my imagination to think that you've got better things to do and you keep bumping into this site…Ludicrous, such a clumsy excuse all under the pretext that you got things doing… I honestly wish you were a little more reasonable… Grow up, uber slut…!!!
for heavens sake who re dis people, d deed is already done wande shld forge a way to move ahead we all knw dat. guys pls take ur argument elsewhere.

Now! I have follow this word attack for sometime now with great interest! Big Mama you are trully stupid ill mannered and most likely an illetrate with little or no home train
U turn a simple civil discussion in a cussing debt and suceeded in bringing the worse in people
U should get a life and learn some manners. I think u should also use ur real name if u feel wat u doing is right.
As for u Jay and Elsie I think is time to
Ignore the lazy loud mouth never do well good for nothing ignoramus!
If someone behaves like her and think she is a celebrity then its obvious that she needs help!
LMAO…@Bruce, what do u xpect naw?
i think black mama really loves stirring things up and in her bid to cover up her tracks she made herself look really stupid and as for her stating that she didn't have time to reply because she's not jobless is really stupid too because she won't have made the bitchy comment in the first place.
@jay good job keeping up with her craziness.i found it really shocking and i didn't think it would end.lol!
Thank u! Finally another intellegent female! Right on Cathrine!
