Seyi Awolowo on viral comment on 'BBNaija' | Fab.ng

Seyi Awolowo was on the BBNaija TV show. He was part of a special All-Stars edition in 2023. While on the show, Seyi said something that many people thought was wrong. His words were seen as disrespectful to women. After the show ended, many people were angry at Seyi for what he said. They criticized him online and in the media.

Recently, Seyi was invited to talk on the “Just Chude” podcast. Media personality Chude Jideonwo hosts this show. During this podcast, Seyi talked about what happened in 2023. He discussed how people reacted to his words on the TV show.

Seyi used this opportunity to say sorry for what he said. He wanted to address the situation and explain himself.

He said,

“I admit that it was messed up, and at that point in time, let’s put it this way: I had already lost the show even before that statement.”

“The house had already gotten to me, but that’s not an excuse. I was not sure how to react to the people in the house or if I was to give it back to them in their own language or just look for another way to survive,” he added.

The podcast gave Seyi a chance to speak directly to people about this issue. He could share his thoughts about what happened and how he feels now.

This shows that Seyi is trying to take responsibility for his actions on the TV show. He wants people to know that he understands why his words upset so many people.

Seyi Awolowo of BBNaija explained more about his controversial comments.

He said that drinking alcohol was not the main cause of his behavior. However, he admitted that alcohol did make his feelings stronger.

Seyi then talked about the content of what he said. He stated, “What I said, in honesty, has been said by a lot of men, but the way I said it out of emotion made it worse.”

This means Seyi thinks many men have similar thoughts, but he expressed them in a particularly bad way because he was very emotional.

To help people understand, Seyi compared his comments to certain types of talk. He called it “locker room chatter” or “beer parlour talk.” These terms refer to the kind of disrespectful things some men say about women when they’re in private settings.

Seyi emphasized that he regrets the strong emotions behind his words. He feels bad not just about what he said, but about how intensely he expressed these hurtful ideas.

He clarified,

“The emotions behind what I said was what was wrong at that point in time. I’m not trying to defend it; that’s why I have apologised again and again. I’m really sorry about it. To everyone who took it wrong, that was not my intention; at the time I was venting, and I should not have said it from a place of emotion.”

Falz Reveals That He Hasn’t Been In A Relationship Since 2008

Falz hasn't been in a relationship since 2008 | fab.ng

Falz is a Nigerian rapper. He recently shared some personal information about his love life. Falz said he has not been in a romantic relationship for a very long time. The last time he was in a relationship was when he was 18 years old. This was back in 2008.

Falz shared this information on a show called “Morning Rush.” This show is hosted by Bibi Rai. During the show, Bibi Rai asked Falz a question. She wanted to know when Falz last had a girlfriend. This is when Falz told her about not being in a relationship since he was 18.

“Let’s not get into this; it’s going to be a dangerous answer,” he began in between laughter.

He added, “My last relationship was in 2008; I was 18 years old precisely. It’s not like I’m running away; it’s just been like a rollercoaster, a couple of different things for a couple of different reasons. It keeps changing, and I just haven’t felt ready.”

“Do you feel like you’re going to be ready anytime soon? As you’re blossoming into Mr Gold?” Bibi Rai probed further.

“You never know; maybe the gold era is the era,” Falz responded.

This means Falz has been single for about 16 years. Many people might find this surprising, especially since Falz is a famous musician. Falz did not explain why he has been single for so long. He just shared the fact about when his last relationship was.

This information gives fans a new insight into Falz’s personal life. It shows that being a successful musician doesn’t always mean having an active romantic life.

Bibi Rai probed further with another question.

“What attracts you to a young lady the most?” she asked.

Falz talked more about what he likes in women now. He said his preferences have changed over time. In the past, he used to focus mostly on how women looked. Now, Falz says this is not the most important thing to him anymore. He has grown and his interests have changed.

These days, Falz is more interested in a woman’s “aura.” An aura is like the feeling or energy a person gives off. By this, he cares more about a woman’s personality and the way she makes others feel when she’s around.

He explained,

“The aura, the energy, the swag. When I say the aura, I don’t mean that loosely; I’m coming from a realm where I thought I liked light-skin babes or babes with big breasts and other fickle things. I’m in a realm where it’s not about that, now it’s about the kind of energy you ooze.”

This change shows how Falz has matured in his view of relationships and what he finds attractive in a potential partner.

Falz shared a story about something that happened to him. This story helps explain what he means by being attracted to someone’s aura. He felt a strong connection with her. This was unusual because they didn’t talk to each other at all.

Falz believes this connection happened because of the woman’s aura. He could sense something about her personality or energy without needing to hear her speak.

He narrated,

“I met someone the other day, and we were at an event, and we just sat down on the table, and a lady sat with me, and she looked at me, then I looked at her. Without saying anything to each other, we had introduced ourselves. That’s the aura! If I meet someone who has that ooze, that’s enough to make a man as alive or aroused as he needs to be.”
