"I want to use this opportunity to apologise for crying on that podcast; it was not my fault. I was emotional; I didn't travel from Onitsha to Lagos to cry. Forgive me and bear with me; something triggered me," he said.

Addressing the narratives online that he cried because of Judy, Obasi, who revealed he is married, disclosed he got emotional because he wanted to have a relationship with his children.

"I also want the world to know I am not crying over a woman; I am only crying over my children," he said.
