The rapper also promised to stop making comments about Burna Boy’s sexuality, whether directly or indirectly, if the charges are withdrawn.
“I apologize for any pain that I have caused you, any shame that I have caused you. I made the mistake of thinking that everybody vibrates at the same frequency. That’s wrong of me. I apologize, Burna Boy,” he said.
“I give you my word that if you withdraw all charges and let everything die, I will never make any direct comments regarding your sexuality. Even indirect comments, I will no longer try such a thing. I give you my word.
“Let peace reign, and withdraw all charges within the next two weeks. I promise I will never use my mouth to mention your name,” he added.
Meanwhile his public apology has sparked reactions online, especially given the long-running tension between both entertainers following Speed Darlington’s remarks about Burna Boy and the alleged link to the baby oil controversy surrounding Diddy’s case.
In the same vein the move appears to show his desire to end the feud and make peace with Burna Boy.
