The video, which has since circulated widely across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, shows Mandy in distress as she passionately defends herself against claims that she is mentally unstable.
“I Am Not Mad,” Mandy Kiss Pleads in Viral Clip
In the emotional clip, Mandy Kiss — speaking in both English and Yoruba — pleaded with Nigerians to intervene, insisting that she is of sound mind and simply trying to make a living through content creation.
She said:
“Please Nigerians, have mercy on me. I am not mad. I am only looking for a means to earn a living. They want to use a pretext to take me to a psychiatric hospital. I am not mentally ill. Everything I am doing is just content so that I can trend.”
Her plea struck a chord with fans and critics alike, with many expressing sympathy while others questioned whether her repeated controversial actions have taken a toll on her mental health.
Backlash from Her Guinness World Record Controversy
The emotional video comes just weeks after Mandy Kiss made headlines for announcing a shocking Guinness World Record attempt — to “sleep with 100 men in one day.”
The announcement quickly went viral and drew widespread backlash, prompting outrage from netizens who accused her of promoting immorality.
However, Mandy later clarified that the statement was a publicity stunt, explaining that it was never a real challenge but rather a content strategy designed to boost her visibility on social media.
“It was just content,” she said in a follow-up post. “I was only trying to create buzz. I never intended to actually do it.”
Despite the clarification, the controversy cemented her reputation as one of Nigeria’s most polarizing online figures.
From Scandal to Government Endorsement
In an unexpected twist, Mandy Kiss recently secured an ambassadorial role with the Lagos State Kicks Against Drug Abuse (LASKADA) initiative.
The appointment surprised many Nigerians, as critics questioned why a personality often linked to controversial online behavior would be chosen to represent a government-backed awareness campaign.
Supporters, however, defended the move, arguing that her large following and influence could help spread positive messages to young people struggling with drug abuse and mental health challenges.
Mixed Reactions Trail Her Latest Outcry
Following the release of the viral video, Nigerians have flooded social media with reactions — some expressing empathy, others suggesting she may indeed need professional help.
One user wrote:
“She needs emotional support, not judgment. Social media pressure can break anyone.”
Another comment read:
“This is what happens when you mix content creation with personal issues. I hope she gets real help.”
Some netizens have also speculated that Mandy’s emotional video might be another publicity stunt to attract attention and engagement online, while others insist she appeared genuinely distressed.
Public Concerns Over Social Media Fame and Mental Health
Mandy Kiss’s breakdown has reignited conversations about mental health among Nigerian influencers and the psychological toll of maintaining online relevance. Many users have urged authorities and fans to approach her situation with empathy rather than mockery.
Mental health advocates have also pointed out that the increasing competition for viral fame on social media can push influencers into extreme behaviors — sometimes at the expense of their wellbeing.
Conclusion
Whether Mandy Kiss’s latest video is a genuine cry for help or another instance of controversial content creation, it has undeniably sparked an important dialogue on mental health awareness, online pressure, and the blurred lines between performance and reality in the influencer world.
As fans continue to express concern, one thing remains clear — Mandy Kiss is fighting to control her narrative and prove that behind the headlines and controversies, she is still just a young woman trying to make a living in Nigeria’s demanding social media landscape.
