Controversial content creator DJ Chicken has publicly apologised for remarks he made about the death of veteran Yoruba actor Ogogo, following a wave of online backlash. In a follow-up video posted on August 25, DJ Chicken attributed his earlier statements to intoxication, saying he was not in a clear state of mind when he made the claims.
DJ Chicken's Apology Video
In the apology video, DJ Chicken said: "I want to apologize for my unsavory comment about the late Ogogo yesterday. I was intoxicated, and I did not know what I was doing. Please forgive me; I could not have done that in good conscience. Ogogo was a legend. I am so sorry for the things I said about Yoruba actors. I really commend your efforts over Ogogo's health."
His apology came after he released an earlier video in which he alleged that Ogogo's death was a consequence of widespread wickedness among Yoruba movie practitioners. He also suggested that many people in the industry deserved a similar fate, sparking fierce condemnation from netizens who accused him of disrespecting a cultural icon at a sensitive moment.
