Kumawood actor Oteele has broken his silence following the circulation of an alleged intimate video that has generated widespread discussion on Ghanaian social media.
The video, which surfaced online and quickly went viral, purportedly shows the actor in a romantic moment with a woman. Its circulation triggered intense reactions from social media users and placed considerable attention on Oteele and his family.
Oteele’s wife, Gifty Nana Afriyie, was the first to publicly address the controversy. In an emotional TikTok video, she denied being the woman seen in the alleged footage and apologised on behalf of her family.
The tearful response further drew public attention to the personal impact of the controversy on the actor’s family.
After reportedly staying away from the public eye for several hours, Oteele later appeared on a TikTok live session to address the matter.
During the live session, the actor acknowledged that he had let his family down and expressed his intention to make amends.
According to Ghanaian social media blogger Shadrack Amonoo Crabbe, who reported the development on Thursday, August 13, 2026, Oteele said he plans to visit his wife together with respected elders to formally ask for her forgiveness.
The actor’s comments have since generated further reactions online, with some social media users focusing on the potential impact of the controversy on his marriage and family.
Oteele’s decision to publicly acknowledge his actions and seek forgiveness marks his first major response since the alleged video began circulating.
