Social media personality King Michy has publicly apologised after facing criticism over a live video in which she admitted to taking a substance while on camera.
The controversy followed an earlier dispute between her and activist VeryDarkMan, whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse. The disagreement began after King Michy accused him of delaying the use of donated NGO funds and urged him to begin the intended projects.
In a video message shared online, King Michy admitted that her actions were inappropriate and said she had spent time reflecting on her behaviour over the past few days.
She acknowledged the influence she has on younger followers and admitted that her conduct had disappointed many people who look up to her.
The social media personality also offered a public apology to Seyi Tinubu. She explained that although she had already apologised to him privately, she believed it was necessary to do so publicly since the incident occurred in the public space.
She also extended her apology to Adeyeye Ogunwusi, expressing regret for mentioning the traditional ruler’s name during the controversy and for involving him in the situation.
In addition, King Michy apologised to Martins Vincent Otse, noting that she now better understands the advocacy work he is doing and recognises his efforts toward improving Nigeria.
She said:
“I’m ready to be held accountable for my actions. For some days I’ve thought about my behavior and I know that I was wrong and I want to be held accountable for the substance I took on a live video.
That was very wrong of me because there are young girls that are looking up to me one day and I know I disappointed a lot of people and I’m choosing life. That was wrong of me. I was wrong. and my boss ST i’m so sorry i know i apologized privately but i did not disrespect you privately i disrespected you publicly so i want to apologize publicly i’m so sorry sir and I want you to know that I will never take your support for granted. I have never taken your support for granted and I will never take your support for granted.
And to the Oni of Ife, I’m so sorry, sir. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry for bringing your name into this. I’m so sorry, daddy.
And Verydarkman, my brother, I see what you’re f!ghting for. You’re f!ghting for Nigerians. And we can make Nigeria a better place. And I’m sorry for coming at you like that.
Maybe now I understand you better because I had to step back and understand the kind of person that you are. And I see that you’re f!ghting for a good cause for Nigeria to be better. You need more supporters, not people to f!ght you. I’m sorry, my brother. Thank you, Nigeria. My name is king Michy.”
