In the caption accompanying the video, Maduagwu wrote:
"Every negative thing I've said about you, I'm sorry. You have gone through a lot, but it's just the grace of God that keeps lifting you up, and making you shine all over the world. I will keep apologizing every day, every week because you don't deserve all the negative things I said about you. I don't care if anyone is not happy about my apology."
The Yinka Theisen Confession
He explained:
"I initially gave her a platform when I thought Linc treated her badly until I later found out the gospel truth."
He also moved to squash claims that he was financially induced to support Yinka, issuing a direct challenge to anyone suggesting money changed hands:
"I challenge Yinka to bring out evidence or receipts that she ever paid me any dollars. Yes, a lot of you are shocked, Abi? I've been seeing comments that Yinka paid me this and that, well, I never collected one Naira."
