Nkechi Blessing apologises to Imisi

Nkechi Blessing has apologised to Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner Imisi over a question she asked during her birthday party, which sparked widespread backlash on social media.

Imisi, who turned 24 on Tuesday, threw a lavish birthday bash with celebrities in attendance.

Spotted at the party were Eddie Watson, Bisola Aiyeola, Kiekie, Nkechi Blessing, Mercy Eke, Brodashaggi, BBNaija Kola, Mide, Mitchy, Isabella, Kayvee, and more.

During a question-and-answer session at the party, Nkechi Blessing had asked Imisi if she would ever forgive and reconcile with her mother, referencing the reality star’s strained relationship with her birth mother.

The question drew intense criticism from netizens, who deemed it insensitive and inappropriate.

In a video message, Nkechi Blessing expressed regret for any offense caused, saying, “I sincerely want to apologise to anybody who got offended by the question I asked Imisi a couple of hours ago at her party. If you find my question offensive, I am sorry. Find a place in your heart to forgive me. Whoever is dragging me, fighting me, abusing me, please don’t be offended”.

She maintained that she was not seeking to stir controversy or chase clout.

The controversy stems from Imisi’s mother publicly claiming that her daughter had abandoned her after winning the Big Brother Naija show.

Imisi has since emphasised that she prioritises her family and is taking care of her mother.
