Commercial model and digital content creator Sadia Said has finally spoken out about the recent controversy involving videos she shot for businessman Mr. Wang, a popular Asian content creator. The drama began after a series of old videos surfaced online, featuring Sadia and other personalities, including Miss World Kenya 2019 Maria Wavinya, interacting with Mr. Wang at exotic locations. These videos led to speculation and damaging allegations about their relationships and the nature of their collaborations, creating a media storm.
During an interview with YouTube content creator Shiku Gitau, Sadia, 24, shed light on her reaction to the situation. The model revealed that at the time the controversy unfolded, she didn’t have Instagram and wasn’t active on Twitter (X). “Uhm, I actually didn’t have Instagram at the time and I don’t use Twitter (X),” Sadia explained. “I didn’t even know I was being dragged online.” She further explained that because she wasn’t plugged into social media, the rumors had little effect on her. It wasn’t until a few of her close friends informed her of the speculations that she became aware of the allegations circulating about her and other individuals involved.
The model also mentioned that the content they had been shooting with Mr. Wang was bound to attract attention. “It was eventually bound to happen,” Sadia said candidly. The videos, which were meant to showcase luxurious experiences, quickly went viral, drawing in netizens who were eager to create stories around the content.
Despite the noise online, Sadia remained unfazed by the controversy. “Only my close friends told me about it,” she shared, emphasizing how little it affected her. “They told me that Mr. Wang was trending, but I didn’t really care because at the time, I was on a break from Instagram.” This break from social media gave Sadia the space to focus on herself, allowing her to take the rumors in stride rather than letting them consume her.
While some public figures might feel the need to address every controversy, Sadia made it clear that she was not one to get involved in the drama. When asked how she handled her name being dragged through the mud, she shrugged it off. “It was bound to happen eventually, and I’m not even surprised,” she said, demonstrating an unbothered attitude.
As the conversation shifted to the online reactions, Shiku Gitau posed a question on behalf of the public: “To the people waiting for your response to these videos, what would you tell them?” Sadia’s response was a mix of sass and wisdom. “Create content, make money, and mind your business,” she declared, offering a straightforward and unapologetic piece of advice for those keen on making noise online.
Her response to the situation showcases a level of maturity and confidence that many young content creators strive to attain. Rather than succumb to pressure or engage with negative online discourse, Sadia emphasized the importance of focusing on one’s own success and not getting caught up in the opinions of others.
In today’s age of social media, where online controversies can spiral out of control, Sadia’s ability to stay composed and maintain a sense of detachment is a testament to her professionalism and self-assuredness. As more content creators are constantly under the microscope, her approach serves as a reminder of the importance of mental resilience and the need to focus on what truly matters creating content, earning a living, and staying true to oneself.
Sadia’s comments mark a strong stance against the toxicity of online gossip and highlight how she is choosing to rise above the noise, unbothered by the whirlwind of rumors that often surround public figures.
