King Mitchy Apologises to Seyi Tinubu, VeryDarkMan and Ooni of Ife Over Live Video Outburst

Nigerian social media personality King Mitchy has issued a sweeping public apology to Seyi Tinubu, activist VeryDarkMan, and the Ooni of Ife, acknowledging that her conduct during a live video was wrong, hurtful, and inconsistent with the responsibility she carries as a public figure with young female followers who look up to her.

In a statement addressed directly to Nigerians, King Mitchy opened with the words — "Good morning Nigerians, I'm ready to be held accountable for my actions", King Mitchy named each individual she had wronged, addressed them directly, and articulated the specific nature of her remorse in each case.

She acknowledged that the insults she made on live video were deeply wrong and that her awareness of young girls who look up to her made the conduct even more troubling in retrospect.

Apology to Seyi Tinubu

Perhaps the most significant dimension of King Mitchy's apology was her message to Seyi Tinubu — son of President Bola Tinubu and a figure whose support she acknowledged openly and with evident gratitude.

"To my boss, ST — Seyi Tinubu — I'm deeply sorry. I know I apologised privately before, but since the issue became public, I also want to apologise publicly because I disrespected you in public," she wrote.

Apology to the Ooni of Ife

King Mitchy also directed a personal apology to the Ooni of Ife, one of Nigeria's most revered traditional rulers, addressing him with the familial term "daddy" — a form of address that reflects both cultural reverence and what appears to be a personal relationship with the monarch.

"To the Ooni of Ife, I'm so sorry daddy," she wrote — a brief but pointed acknowledgement that her conduct had extended its collateral damage to one of Nigeria's most respected royal figures, whose dignity and standing demand a standard of conduct from those connected to him that her live video fell well short of.

Apology to VeryDarkMan — "I Now Understand What You Are Fighting For"

The most substantively interesting section of King Mitchy's apology was her message to VeryDarkMan — the activist and social commentator who has built a large national following through his uncompromising advocacy on behalf of ordinary Nigerians and his willingness to confront powerful figures publicly.

What made her words to VeryDarkMan stand out was not just the apology itself — it was the accompanying acknowledgement of the legitimacy of his cause.

"To the man I spoke against — VeryDarkMan, my brother — I now understand what you are fighting for, standing up for Nigerians and working toward a better country. I'm sorry for attacking you the way I did. After stepping back and reflecting, I see that you're fighting for a good cause and you deserve support, not hostility," she stated.

This was not a reluctant, minimal apology issued under duress. It was a substantive reconsideration — a public admission that VeryDarkMan's activism deserves respect rather than the hostility she directed at him, and a recognition that opposing someone fighting for Nigerian citizens was a position she can no longer defend on reflection.

King Mitchy's statement stands out precisely because it does not hedge, does not deflect responsibility onto others, and does not attempt to reframe the original conduct as a misunderstanding.

She was wrong. She knows she was wrong. She said so — to each person affected, by name, in public, on the record.
