Nigerian singer Damilola Rasak Afolabi, popularly known as L.A.X, has threatened to sue an X user who accused him of infecting her with herpes.
L.A.X’s girlfriend shared a loved-up picture with the singer on Monday via X, wishing everyone a happy new year.
Commenting on the post, a user with the handle @edna_reese called L.A.X a “wicked herpes giver”.
“Rasaki wicked herpes giver. Omo! Love and light to you,” she wrote.
