Last year, Laide in a chat, revealed that she was the one who first introduced her daughter to clubbing and alcohol at age 17.
The shocking revelation didn’t sit well with social media users, who mercilessly dragged her.
Reacting to the backlash, on her Instagram page, Laide said she didn’t introduce her daughter to alcohol but only took her to a club. She explained that it was to give her a bit of exposure towards the future, and she isn’t as bad as people think.
In a follow-up post, Laide made it known that she and her daughter were innocent, and she never introduced her to alcohol.
