Popular social media personality King Mitchy has publicly apologised to Nigerians following backlash over a live video in which she admitted taking a substance on air. She acknowledged that her actions were wrong, particularly because many young girls look up to her.
In a statement on her Instagram page, Mitchy said she had reflected on her behaviour and was ready to be held accountable. She admitted that taking the substance during the live broadcast was inappropriate and expressed regret for disappointing her followers.
Mitchy also issued a public apology to Seyi Tinubu, whom she referred to as her boss. Although she had previously apologised privately, she felt it was necessary to do so publicly since the incident occurred in a public space.
She further apologised to the Ooni of Ife for mentioning his name during the controversy and addressed activist VeryDarkMan, expressing regret for confronting him previously and acknowledging his advocacy for Nigeria.
Mitchy concluded by stressing that activists like VeryDarkMan need supporters, not critics, and reiterated her remorse for her actions. She urged Nigerians to focus on positive engagement and reflected on her responsibility as a public figure.
