Veteran singer, Salawa Abeni, has foiled a purported attempt by a blackmailer to release her old nude photos.

She shared screenshots of the chat she had with the ‘blackmailer’ in which he threatened to release some ‘old nude’ photographs of her if she didn’t pay him some money.

However, Salawa Abeni, who expressed her disappointment at the attempt, disclosed that she wouldn’t be bullied into complying.

“Good morning my Family, friends and Fans. I have something very important to tell you and I will really appreciate your audience,” she wrote.

“I am very disappointed that someone somewhere will try to tarnish my image and threaten to destroy my career of over 45 years.

|This morning, I received messages from somebody threatening to expose very old pictures of me and in the process, blackmailing me for money.

“These could’ve been pictures of me in the hospital or even with my partner, but is this what has become of us?? I plead with everybody out there to be very careful as our current situation has made people very desperate.

“I am almost 60 years old, I have worked very hard and made a name for myself for somebody to believe that they can threaten and trample on my feelings, this is very sad.

“So I have decided to share the messages and pictures sent by this person with everyone for you all to see! Thank you and God bless you! For you the blackmailer, I refuse to be bullied by you as I’m sure that I’m old enough to be your MOTHER!!

Below are screenshots of the chat from the blackmailer:

Meanwhile, instead of paying any monies to the blackmailer, she shared the supposed nude pictures by herself.
