    L.A.X plans to sue X user who called him a “herpes giver.”

    Nigerian artist Damilola Afolabi, professionally known as L.A.X, is considering legal action against an X (formerly Twitter) user who referred to him as a “herpes giver.”

    The controversy arose from a New Year’s post shared by the artist’s girlfriend on X, featuring affectionate pictures with the caption “Happy new year from me and mine.” While the post garnered positive comments from admirers, an X user named Edna_reese quoted the original post and labeled the rapper “a herpes giver.”

    Expressing discontent, she stated, “Rasaki, wicked herpes giver. Omo! Love and light to you.”

    Following her quote, it quickly went viral on the microblogging app, amassing over 1.7 thousand comments and 2.6 thousand reposts. The accusation stirred various reactions as X users engaged in discussions, with some questioning L.A.X about the veracity of the claims and others vehemently refuting the allegations.

    However, the artiste himself responded to her comment, saying, “THIS IS A SILLY JOKE AND I DONT PLAY LIKE THAT. LEGAL ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY. THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST.”

    L.A.X’s response was retweeted by his girlfriend, who in turn expressed her dissatisfaction over the turn of events.

    Despite the musician’s response, the X user made another post saying, “Fun fact herpes doesn’t have a cure. You can only manage it. However not a deadly disease but it has breakout like cold sores. In that light , before any sexual activity with a man or lady know their sexual history. Don’t sleep with everything . Use condom . Protect your sanity.”
