YouTuber Korty EO Fires Back at Critic: "God Will Brutally Destroy You" for Discrediting My Hard Work
Popular Nigerian YouTuber and filmmaker Eniola Olanrewaju, widely known as Korty EO, has delivered a scathing response to a social media user who attempted to attribute her career success to "female privilege."
The intense exchange, which took place on the X platform (formerly Twitter) earlier this week, has sparked a widespread conversation about the challenges women face in the creative industry and the erasure of their hard work.
The Controversy: Hard Work vs. Privilege
The drama began when an X user suggested that Korty’s rapid rise in the media space was largely due to the advantages of being a woman rather than her talent or grit. The comment implied that her path was smoother simply because of her gender.
Korty, known for her raw and authentic storytelling style, wasted no time in shutting down the narrative. In a fiery retort that quickly went viral, she detailed the grueling reality of her journey from obscurity to stardom.
She revealed the extreme lengths she went to in order to secure content in her early days. "I ran from Ibadan, hustled my way up from Bariga to Yaba, quit my job, begged people to watch YouTube videos I was dropping every week for 2 years," she wrote.
"I Sat Outside a Hotel for Three Days"
To further illustrate her point, Korty shared a specific example of her determination. She recalled waiting outside a hotel for three consecutive days just to secure a single interview a testament to the persistence required to break into the Nigerian entertainment scene.
Her response culminated in a fierce warning to anyone who seeks to undermine her efforts. "If you ever discredit my hard work for female privilege, God will brutally destroy you," she declared.

Fans and Creatives Rally Behind Korty
The YouTuber's bold stance has resonated deeply with many, particularly women in the corporate and creative sectors who feel their achievements are often scrutinized or minimized.
Supporters flooded the comments section, praising Korty for speaking up. One user noted, "It's crazy how we still have to prove our hard work to others just not to be branded under some funny labels". Another added that women often have to work twice as hard to be seen, yet still face accusations of having it easy.
Korty EO has built a massive following by documenting the lives of Nigerian stars and everyday people with a unique, unfiltered lens. Her channel has featured high-profile figures like Don Jazzy and Rema, solidifying her status as one of the country's top digital creators.
This incident serves as a reminder that behind every viral success story is often years of unseen struggle and rejection.
