Nollywood actress, Lilian Afegbai, popularly known as Lily Afe, has apologised to the organisers of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Award over her crash after not being nominated in the 12th edition of the awards.
In a post she made on her X (formerly Twitter) page on Saturday, the actress said her apology should have come earlier and her previous tweet should not have been made.
She wrote, “This apology should have come earlier, That tweet should not have happened. No excuse.
“It was disrespectful to AMVCA, the nominees, my To Kill A Monkey family, and all of you who have supported me.
:Honestly, I was disappointed. But that’s not an excuse for how I responded.”
The actress also admitted that she reacted from a place of hurt and entitlement and it was out of character to do that.
She wrote, “I’ve come a long way in my journey, and for a long time I felt invisible. To Kill A Monkey felt like my ‘now they see me’ moment, and I held on to that very tightly.
“When I wasn’t nominated, I reacted from a place of hurt, entitlement and it was out of character for me. I was wrong and I am sorry. Please give me a chance to be better. I no go fall una hand again.”
PUNCH Online had reported that the actress expressed frustration after being omitted from the Best Supporting Actress category at the upcoming Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
