Veteran Nigerian rapper William Orioha, better known as 2Shotz, has finally opened up about the darkest chapter of his life—the moment his career and personal life crumbled after an assault allegation from actress Beverly Osu.

Speaking in an interview on the Teju Babyface Show, 2Shotz recalled how a misunderstanding from years ago turned into a storm that nearly ended everything he worked for. According to him, Beverly, who once featured in one of his music videos, was a regular at his home. But during a heated disagreement, his hand “accidentally brushed her face.”

Beverly interpreted the act as physical assault, and soon, the story spread like wildfire across the media. The fallout was massive. Endorsement deals slipped away, show bookings stopped, and the rapper faced harsh public criticism.

2Shotz stressed that he has never been a violent person and insisted the incident was blown out of proportion. “I was accused of so many things that I’m not. Everybody tore me apart. I wasn’t getting shows. I wasn’t getting deals. I lost my house. I almost killed myself. I walked into water, and people had to pull me out,” he painfully recounted.

The rapper admitted that the allegation left scars beyond his career. It affected his family, friendships, and his mental health. Despite the turmoil, 2Shotz is determined to share his truth, hoping his story sheds light on the struggles artists face when controversy overshadows their craft.

While his career never fully recovered, his candid reflection has reminded fans of the pressures entertainers face behind the spotlight.
