FM radio personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Freeze has decided
to take back the open letter he wrote to Tiwa and apologise for being so
insensitive. If you missed the open letter click here.
I got off the phone with @tiwasavage last
night and I felt deflated. I went to bed immediately after, but sleep was far
from me. I tossed and turned all night without successfully getting one wink of
sleep. The 45 minutes I spoke to her haunted me, and our conversation replayed
itself over and over again.
She was so polite, a well brought up
Yoruba lady who was visibly hurt, but not for once was she rude to me. Our
conversation was mostly in Yoruba and I couldn't help but notice that despite
the fact that she wasn't happy with my previous post, she still addressed me
with the 'e' the Yoruba tribe employ, when speaking to older people. Her tone
was calm and she passed her message across to me with the utmost courtesy,
showcasing her pristine upbringing. I sensed pain in her voice and it was that
pain that kept me up. Tiwa is a good woman, a strong woman. I could see that
she still cared about TJ when she asked if I had spoken to him.....
I'm going to be 40 in a few days, and
if there is anything I give myself credit for, it's the fact that I am a good
judge of character. What I felt when speaking to her was genuine. I wanted to
slap myself for being bit insensitive in my last post but, I guess it's too
late for regrets now, it's gone along with her interview and his posts, into
the unforgiving archives of the Internet, never to be forgotten.
As I started my drive towards
@coolfmlagos this morning to preach on the gospel show #PraiseJam where I will
be speaking till 11am, it occurred to me that we all have to stop blaming
either party and focus on praying for both of them. T billz and Tiwa are both
at a fragile state, and it is so unfortunate that this matter has been brought
before a fanged public ready to tear us all up for their amusement. Like
@official2baba said, don't make jokes about a serious matter, instead, remember
them in your prayers. I love you Tiwa, I love you Billz, there is a light at
the end of this tunnel, GOD is your strength and he will see you through this!
your letter was just one-sided the girl has to speak
