Controversy erupted on Ghanaian social media platforms on Thursday, February 12, 2026, when videos of Yaytseslav with multiple women emerged.
The content creator was seen in the videos moving around the Accra Mall area, interacting with female shoppers and other passersby he encountered on the streets.
He often found a pretext to invite them over to his apartment and appeared to have been recording the encounter with his Meta smart glasses.
Yaytseslav reportedly shared the videos on social media, where he had popular accounts on TikTok, YouTube, and two Telegram channels (one private, one public).
According to reports, he charged $5 a month for his private Telegram channel, where he presumably posted more risqué videos than the ones publicly shared.
Below is a Twitter video with details of the controversy.
