In a now-deleted post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Eloswag voiced his frustration over the incident and suggested legal action could follow.
“I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3 a.m. and deleted it immediately. Guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense,” he wrote, revealing his disappointment over the rapid distribution of the clip.
This incident has placed Eloswag among a growing list of celebrities who have faced the public release of private content.

The spread of Eloswag’s video highlights the ongoing issue of privacy breaches on social media, particularly for high-profile figures.
