The trending video of Senior Man Layla promoting LBGTQ+

Popular Ghanaian content creator Senior Man Layla is facing widespread backlash following the release of a controversial skit that many have described as offensive and inappropriate.

In the viral video, Layla is seen pulling down his boxer shorts and instructing a male cast member to lick his bare buttocks — a scene intended as humor but received by many as vulgar and unacceptable.

The skit has drawn sharp criticism on social media, with Ghanaians questioning the limits of comedy and calling out what they see as a growing trend of indecent content in the name of entertainment. Many argue that the video not only crosses the line of decency but also sets a bad example for young audiences who follow online influencers.

Disappointed fans and social media users have flooded platforms with calls for Layla to apologise, with some demanding that the video be taken down. The hashtag #CancelLayla has been trending, reflecting the level of public outrage.

While the video has amassed a large number of views, the general reaction has been overwhelmingly negative. The controversy has also reignited discussions around the need for stricter content regulation, the role of censorship, and the responsibilities influencers have in shaping public behaviour in Ghana’s digital space.
