Controversial social media influencer and content creator, Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, popularly known as Mandy Kiss, has once again stirred public attention after a video of her crying out to Nigerians went viral. In the video, Mandy Kiss claimed that there were alleged plans to have her forcibly taken to a psychiatric hospital, prompting widespread concern and debate on social media platforms.
Mandy Kiss Pleads for Help
In the emotional video, Mandy Kiss was seen visibly distressed, tears streaming down her face, as she pleaded for intervention from the public. She insisted that she was mentally stable and that the rumors or actions aimed at institutionalizing her were entirely unjustified. Her emotional outburst highlighted her frustration and desperation over how her actions and public persona were being interpreted by some individuals and authorities.
Speaking in both English and Yoruba to ensure her message reached a broad audience, Mandy Kiss said:
“Please Nigerians, have mercy on me. I am not mad. I am only looking for a means to earn a living. They want to use a pretext to take me to the psychiatric hospital. I am not mentally ill. Everything I am doing is just content so that I can trend.”
Her appeal underscores the challenges that influencers sometimes face in balancing controversial content creation with public perception, and the real-life consequences of social media stunts when misinterpreted or sensationalized.
Her Guinness World Record Attempt
This incident follows closely on the heels of Mandy Kiss trending online for her controversial announcement of a Guinness World Record attempt, in which she claimed she would sleep with 100 men in one day. The claim sparked massive backlash, criticism, and moral debate across social media platforms. Many questioned the appropriateness of such a public claim, and it quickly became a trending topic both nationally and internationally.
However, Mandy Kiss later clarified that her announcement was not an actual attempt, but rather a content creation strategy intended to generate attention and engagement on social media. She emphasized that the statement was part of her ongoing social media hustle, highlighting the blurred lines between digital stunts, personal branding, and reality in the influencer economy.
From Controversy to Ambassadorial Role
Despite the backlash and ongoing controversies, Mandy Kiss was recently appointed as an ambassador for the Lagos State Kicks Against Drug Abuse (LASKADA) initiative. The appointment sparked further discussions online, with mixed reactions from Nigerians. While some saw it as an opportunity for the influencer to use her platform for positive change, others criticized the government’s choice given her controversial image and past public statements.
The appointment represents an interesting dichotomy, where public figures known for provocative content are given official roles to promote social causes, raising questions about the intersection of influence, responsibility, and credibility in the digital age.

The recent video of Mandy Kiss pleading for help has caused a stir on social media, with thousands of users engaging in debates, expressing opinions, and showing concern for her well-being. Many sympathized with her situation, while others continued to critique her past actions and the viral content she produces.
