In a video shared on social media, Nkechi insisted her intentions were misunderstood and expressed deep regret.
“I sincerely want to apologise to anybody who got offended with the question I asked Imisi some couple of hours ago at her party. I don’t want to trend for the wrong reasons this year,” Nkechi said.
Acknowledging that her question may have appeared insensitive, the actress asked the public for forgiveness and stressed that she was not seeking attention or trying to embarrass Imisi.
“If you found my question offensive, I am truly sorry. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me. To everyone dragging me, fighting me, or abusing me, I’m sorry. It was not intentional at all,” she added.
Nkechi explained that she had remained silent while the story circulated online to avoid escalating the situation, noting that those familiar with her background and close relationship with her late mother would understand her perspective.
She also revealed that she had privately apologised to Imisi at the party, and that the BBNaija star eventually calmed down.
While the apology has softened some opinions, others remain critical, arguing that the timing of the question was inappropriate, regardless of intent.
