Former Big Brother Naija “Level Up” housemate, Deji Morafa, has publicly apologized to his romantic interest, Chichi, following their tumultuous reunion show.
The apology comes after Chichi revealed the ill treatments she endured during their relationship, which eventually led to their breakup.
During the reunion show, Chichi bravely shared the details of the mistreatment she faced while in a relationship with Deji.
She disclosed that despite his public declarations of love, he portrayed a different narrative privately.
Chichi alleged that Deji manipulated her childhood experiences, causing her to believe she was to blame during their arguments, leading to self-doubt and even considering therapy.
Initially, Deji denied all the claims made against him by Chichi, asserting that he had already made it clear to her that he was not interested in a committed relationship.
However, in a recent update, Deji took to the microblogging platform Twitter to release an official statement and express remorse for his actions and hurtful words.
He wrote;
“In light of the recent episode of the reunion that was just aired, I realize some of my shortcomings and I will start by tendering my heartfelt apology to you, Chichi. I acknowledge that I failed to clearly express my lack of interest in pursuing a serious relationship with you during the show and I take full responsibility for it. After the show, we made an effort to work things out, but unfortunately, we discovered that there was no chemistry between us to sustain a romantic relationship, amongst other reasons.
“In the midst of the misunderstandings, I genuinely cared for vou and showed that in the best possible way I could. I know some things might have come off hurtful along the way but that was never my intention.
“Although some statements were said about me that are untrue. However, I understand that we cannot control how people react in certain situations.
In a nutshell, I am sorry; my intention was never to lead you on or to disrespect you in anyway“
