## Controversies
### Cyber-crime/fraud allegation

A plot to implicate Daniels in a scam involving alleged intimate photos of an aspiring actress started on 20 November 2017. A person claimed that she had sent photos to Daniels and was then asked to meet with a movie producer who would train her on being a better actress. After the meeting Daniels was said to have been angry with the victim inciting that the aspiring actress should have offered herself to the producer. Two days later Daniels denied all allegations, and said a fan was using her name to dupe the actress. On 23 November 2017, the impersonator was arrested by the police and Daniels was exonerated.

### Marriage to Ned Nwoko

On April 1, 2019, e-Nigeria! a news website made a publication stating that Ned Nwoko (a Nigerian businessman) was the financial sponsor of Daniels. The publication went viral and was cited by many news websites in Nigeria and Kemi Filani News. Etinosa Idemudia in response to media critics responded on her social media handle that it is an honor that Daniels was made the 6th wife of the senator elect instead of a "side chic".
