Following his release from prison over allegations of defaming Davido, Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has issued a heartfelt apology to his fans and the Nigerian public. The apology was made on August 30, 2024, through a post on X.
Dammy Krane expressed regret for his actions and acknowledged the high expectations placed upon him. He stated, “I am sorry about everything, to my fans (I hope I still have fans lol). To my fans, if I still have, I am sorry. Moving on, expect good music from me and music only #lovealwaysleads.”
He further apologized to Nigerians for the negative energy he had previously projected and admitted to his mistakes. “I want to apologize to Nigerians for the negative energy I have put up on the media before today. I know a lot was expected of me but I messed up. I wish I could take back the hand of time, but only God can, so I will do what I can, which is to apologize.”
In addition to his apology, Dammy Krane announced the launch of a prison reform foundation aimed at helping those who have been illegally detained.
The controversy began when Dammy Krane accused Davido of being responsible for his arrest and claimed he was being oppressed for seeking justice. He alleged that Davido was trying to frame him with false accusations.
On August 28, 2024, social media personality Verydarkman (VDM) revealed Dammy Krane’s arrest on Instagram, claiming the singer was in custody due to Davido’s alleged actions. VDM called for Dammy Krane’s release, which occurred the following day.
