Rapper Mr Real has made a public apology video to singer D’banj following remarks he made about the Creative, Reality, Entertainment, Arts and Music (CREAM) platform that sparked controversy online
It all started when Mr Real claimed that the platform could not afford a N20 million ambassadorial deal, drawing widespread criticism.
Responding to the allegation, D’banj’s lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, filed a criminal defamation petition and requested a summons against the rapper.
A court subsequently ordered Mr Real to appear on January 19 and issued an injunction barring him from making further public statements about D’banj until the matter is resolved.
In an Instagram video, Mr Real explained that his comments were the result of a misunderstanding and expressed regret for the situation.
“This video is an apology to my boss, D’banj. I misunderstood and misinterpreted some things concerning the CREAM platform, and I want to sincerely say I am very sorry,” he said.
He added, “D’banj, you have played a big role in my life and career. You are like a father and mentor to me. I am truly sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness. I promise to comply with the legal process and give my full support and cooperation. I remain loyal to you.”
Mr Real confirmed that he had withdrawn his previous statements and vowed to refrain from making further public comments.
He emphasised his respect for D’banj and said he is committed to resolving the matter privately while maintaining professionalism in the music industry. “I hold D’banj in the highest regard, and I am committed to doing better moving forward,” he said.
