“Isn’t this the same person who was crying” – BBNaija’s Seyi stirs reactions as he makes U-turn over his controversial statement, queries Nigerians (Video)
Seyi Awolowo has stirred the internet once again as he makes a U-turn over his misogynistic statement.
Just days after crying on Ebuka’s show asking for forgiveness from Nigerians, Seyi Awolowo in an interview with Olorisupergal stated that his words were taken out of context.
Though he has apologized, he believes that his words were taken out of context and many reacted without a clear understanding of what he was saying.
He probed Nigerians asking if they listened to what he said, or took his words out of context to support their motion.
“Did they actually listen to what I said? Was it taken out of context to support their motion or to be misunderstood? Or is it that they just wanted to respond or did they understand what I was trying to say? Yes, I do apologize for the negativity that was been brought out from my statement but really”.
This is coming just hours after he shed tears as he publicly apologized for his misogynistic statement.
