A key figure in social networks in French-speaking Africa, Coco Emilia, the Cameroonian influencer with millions of subscribers, hit the headlines in 2022 with her sumptuous marriage to the Congolese businessman Francis Mvemba. This union, which promised to be the fairy tale of modern times, quickly transformed into a succession of tumultuous episodes, punctuated by accusations of infidelity and public separations. The businesswoman, known for her cosmetics brand “ Cocoshop » and her extravagant outfits, had even gone through a period of depression following her husband’s publicized escapades.
A short-term relief
The start of 2024, however, suggested an improvement in this media couple. After months of tension and a stormy separation, Coco Emilia et Francis Mvemba had chosen to give their story another chance. The couple had even taken the radical decision to settle in Senegal, far from prying eyes and incessant comments on their relationship. Between August and October, social networks echoed this reconciliation, through romantic photos shared by the Cameroonian influencer. But the sudden disappearance of these photos quickly fueled speculation about the solidity of this new agreement.
Disturbing revelations
On November 13, 2024, the influencer Aisha Kamoise threw a stone into the pond during a live broadcast YouTube. His statements accusing Francis Mvemba of domestic violence against Coco Emilia quickly set the web ablaze. The YouTuber, confident of her information, even publicly challenged Coco Emilia to sue her, claiming to have tangible evidence. These allegations found particular resonance in the Cameroonian media, which massively relayed the information. However, contradictory versions emerge, with some sources suggesting that the episodes of violence were initiated by Coco Emilia herself, described as “ hysterical » in these testimonies.
A revealing silence
The couple’s notable absence on social networks since these revelations raises many questions. Francis Mvembausually very active on its digital platforms, observes an unusual silence. For her part, Coco Emilia, who regularly shared her daily life with her millions of subscribers, erased all traces of her married life on her social networks. This situation highlights the complexity of marital relationships in the spotlight, where the line between private life and public spectacle becomes increasingly blurred. While Internet users await explanations, this case raises essential questions about the trivialization of domestic violence, regardless of the notoriety of the people concerned.
