Esther Raphael, a Biochemistry graduate turned porn star, insists her career choice was personal and not driven by Nigeria’s failures.
Esther Raphael, a 25-year-old Biochemistry graduate from Akwa Ibom, has addressed viral claims about her career in adult content. Popularly known as Queen Diva or Didee, she trended online after her porn videos surfaced, sparking narratives that Nigeria’s economic hardship pushed her into the industry.
In two recent videos, Esther denied those claims, insisting the decision was hers. “I am educated. I made a decision and I stand by that decision. I studied Biochemistry but I created a life that I wanted on my own terms,” she said.
She added that her choice was about “freedom” and “control,” not merely financial lack. “I can be both soft and strong. I can be sexual and I can also be smart,” she declared.
Esther revealed she now lives in Lagos, works as a remote social media manager, and is building a skincare and soft-care brand, while fully embracing her identity as an adult content creator.
