Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has publicly yielded to pressure and offered a sincere apology to Nigerian music icon Davido after he angrily messaged her privately over a false claim that he had opened a restaurant.
In a post that rapidly gained traction online, Davido was direct and furious, confronting Sarah in her direct messages:
“WTF is wrong with you? Delete that dumb ass sht. Which f**ing restaurant did I open? I didn’t open any restaurant. Please delete it now.”
Taken aback by his reaction, Sarah used Instagram to share the private conversation along with a contrite caption:
“I’m sorry Davido.”
She followed this with a formal video apology, expressing her emotions openly and addressing Davido as “my King, one and only 001.” In the video, she stated:
“If you know me very well, you can tell that I’m a diehard fan of Davido and Chioma. I would never intentionally disrespect neither of them. I was misinformed by what Opeyemi posted about Davido gifting him food from his restaurant. I just jumped into conclusion.”
“ I’m really sorry for getting on your nerves, to the point that you had to enter my DM to question me. I beg, please forgive me.”
She continued to elaborate.
“I am your number one fan. Nobody loves you more than I love you. I swear on God. In fact, they nearly brought down my page because I was defending you online.”
Sarah stressed that her actions stemmed from a place of admiration and earnestly sought forgiveness:
“I beg, I’m really sorry. This is from a place of love. Please forgive me, OBO.”
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
