The grieving family member admitted she still had many things left unsaid and unfinished with the actor.

She said:

“We had a lot to finish up!! Plans for June in Houston! Ikebobo you did this to me! I am upset! I am not happy Ikenna!”. You told me you will call me back after our phone conversation before your birthday. So that was it?!”
