Once hailed as the king of Nigeria’s underground adult industry, Tobilola Jolaoso — better known by his flamboyant alias Kingtblakhoc — now lives in obscurity, poverty, and rumoured madness. The man who once raked in millions monthly and scandalised a nation by building a porn empire from scratch is now reduced to selling old clips for ₦5,000 on Twitter, struggling to survive in his crumbling ancestral home deep in Osun State.
For years, Jolaoso lived like royalty in the booming shadow economy of adult content. With his daring performances and unapologetic attitude, he rewrote the rules in a society that traditionally shunned open discussion of sexuality, let alone the public display of it. He was not just a performer — he was a pioneer, a one-man revolution who shattered the silence around sex in Nigeria.
In the mid-2010s, when internet access surged and Snapchat began changing how people consumed content, Jolaoso seized the moment. According to Chukwudi Iwuchukwu, he turned Snapchat into his stage, then launched his own website, and eventually found his videos featured on a leading global adult site. His success was staggering: ₦25 million per month, luxury cars, and weeks-long stays in Lagos’s most opulent hotels — Eko, Oriental, and Intercontinental. His female co-stars were rumoured to earn up to ₦300,000 per shoot — a king’s ransom in 2016.
In an act that shocked both fans and critics alike, Jolaoso decided to shoot an explicit video at the Osun Sacred Grove — a revered UNESCO World Heritage Site and spiritual sanctuary devoted to the Yoruba river goddess, Osun. To the traditional custodians of Yoruba culture, this wasn’t merely offensive. It was a desecration.
Almost immediately after filming, Jolaoso reportedly suffered a mental breakdown. Eyewitnesses say he began behaving erratically, lost drastic amounts of weight, and vanished from public view. Rumours flew — had he contracted HIV? Was he cursed? Had the gods exacted their revenge?
His empire crumbled with terrifying speed. The adult website that once hosted his videos removed every trace of his work. His once-loyal collaborators and models vanished. The millions dried up. Today, the man who once disrupted Nigeria’s moral compass lives in near-total isolation, tweeting out desperation sales of old footage — which, heartbreakingly, no one seems to be buying.
Jolaoso’s fall has become a cautionary tale whispered among aspiring content creators and moralists alike. Here was a man who dared the gods, taunted tradition, and built an empire on what many considered sin — only to be reduced to a shadow of his former self, begging for relevance in the same digital world he once ruled.
“He was our legend,” said one former associate who asked not to be named. “But he crossed a line. There are things you don’t do in Nigeria. You don’t mock the gods.”
For all the wealth and fame he once enjoyed, Kingtblakhoc is now a footnote — a ghost in the industry he birthed. His downfall, some say, is divine justice. Others see it as a tragedy of arrogance and excess.
Whatever the case, his story stands as a stark reminder: not all taboos are meant to be broken. And some lines, when crossed, will make even kings fall.
