A young TikToker popularly known as ‘Pretty Yoruba Girl’ who went viral for asking her parents for an iPhone 8 for her forthcoming birthday in a video she shared on social media has apologised to the public for her attitude on Wednesday. The father was heard suggesting that she may sell her body if she desired an iPhone, asserting that girls with such phones are morally corrupt. He compared this with those pursuing a medical education who haven’t prioritised owning an iPhone, adding that his daughter’s focus on acquiring one before entering university is needless. “I thought it was just an online video; I never knew it would go viral as much as it did. She also lamented that the hate comment she and her parents are getting is too much while urging the public to delete the video.
