Slide In and Get Exposed: Mama Uka Warns Male Admirers With Final DM Ultimatum

Popular Nigerian skitmaker and online sensation, Mama Uka, has lit up social media with a fiery and unapologetic declaration that has everyone talking. In what many are calling both a boundary-setting move and a viral callout, the comedian has drawn a clear line in the digital sand: any man who dares to enter his direct messages with romantic intentions will be exposed—no second chances, no exceptions.

The warning, delivered through a bold statement on his verified social media handle, left little to the imagination. “I will expose any man who enters my DM to ask me out,” he wrote, capping it off with a finality that sent waves through his fan base and beyond. It's not every day that a public figure, particularly one who thrives on humor and relatability, makes such a pointed declaration, and the internet has wasted no time in dissecting the intent, implications, and motivations behind it.

Mama Uka, whose real name is Odinaka Chukwueze, has become a household name across Nigeria and the diaspora for his hilarious portrayal of the archetypal African mother. With his signature headwraps, exaggerated accents, and quick wit, he has built a career on pushing cultural buttons while providing comic relief to millions. But behind the comedy is a real person—a man who, like many other online creators, has had to navigate the murky waters of digital fame, unwanted attention, and the ever-blurring lines between performance and personal identity.

What’s particularly fascinating about this moment is how it challenges societal perceptions of gender, online persona, and attraction. Mama Uka is, after all, a man who performs in the persona of a woman. For some, this adds a layer of confusion that fuels the unsolicited DMs he now wants to put an end to. For others, it’s a sobering reminder that online identities can invite assumptions that aren't always aligned with reality.

His statement also touches on an often-overlooked issue: the entitlement some feel in digital spaces, particularly towards creators who seem ‘approachable’ due to the nature of their content. Mama Uka’s skits may be comedic, but that doesn’t equate to open season on his personal inbox. The tone of his message was clear, not comedic—this wasn’t a joke or a staged rant for views. It was a firm and personal boundary, and one that resonated with many other creators who quietly face similar harassment in their DMs.

The post has already sparked intense debate online. Some fans have applauded his boldness, calling it a necessary move to protect personal boundaries in an era where digital interactions are often taken for granted. Others, however, have criticized the warning as being unnecessarily harsh or even humiliating to those who may have approached with ‘genuine intentions.’

But Mama Uka doesn’t seem to be interested in sugarcoating or offering polite rejections anymore. For him, it’s a matter of respect. “I don’t care if you think it’s just a joke or if you’re shooting your shot—I’m not here for that,” he later clarified in a follow-up video that has already racked up hundreds of thousands of views. In it, he doubled down on his stance, saying that too many people confuse the character he plays with who he actually is, and it has reached a point where silence is no longer an option.

The announcement comes amid a broader conversation about digital boundaries and the responsibilities of both creators and fans. While social media has created unprecedented access to public figures, it has also created space for blurred lines and over-familiarity. For skitmakers like Mama Uka, who build entire brands on relatability, maintaining those lines can be particularly difficult. Every like, share, and comment builds a form of intimacy that, for some followers, becomes permission to overstep.

This is far from the first time a Nigerian content creator has had to address unwanted romantic advances. But Mama Uka’s approach is perhaps the most direct—and the most publicly decisive. Where others have opted to ignore, block, or silently endure, he’s made it clear that exposure will be his weapon of choice. The internet, as always, is watching closely.

Within hours of his post, screenshots began circulating of past DMs from admirers—some flirtatious, others outright explicit. Though Mama Uka didn’t share these himself, fans speculated that it’s only a matter of time before he makes good on his threat. The mere possibility has already caused a noticeable dip in public comments from overly forward followers on his posts, suggesting that many are taking the warning seriously.

It’s also worth noting the cultural context in which this is unfolding. In Nigeria, gender norms, masculinity, and public image are still heavily policed. For a male comedian who cross-dresses for entertainment to make a stand against male admirers is not only a personal declaration but a provocative cultural moment. Some see it as an act of courage, others as controversy bait—but either way, it’s making headlines.

As social media continues to evolve, so too do the ways in which creators protect themselves. Mama Uka’s move is a striking example of a new kind of agency being asserted by digital personalities: one that doesn’t apologize for setting limits, one that isn't afraid to lose a few fans in the name of personal dignity.

Whether this bold stand becomes a trend among other influencers remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Mama Uka has changed the conversation. He has made it clear that behind the wigs, makeup, and jokes is a man who values his peace and personal space. Those who confuse the act with the actor, or think a DM is a shortcut to romantic success, may soon find themselves the subject of a viral lesson.

In a digital age where clout often trumps consent, Mama Uka’s warning is more than a clapback—it’s a call for boundaries, respect, and accountability. Slide into his DMs, and you might just slide into the spotlight—for all the wrong reasons.
