Chiko Lawi apologized for the unrefined words he used during his confrontation with Damian Marley; he however made it clear that he won’t apologize for standing up against someone who insulted his mother.

Below is Chiko Lawi’s apology:

“At the plane people wanted selfies, he’s Bob Marley’s son, of course people want to. I’m a big fan. So he was ignoring people and I stepped up.. So I’m like this is Kenya, these are your fans, people you’ve come to perform for.

“A bit of banter and then one of his guys says something like don’t talk to us, I’m gonna bust you. That’s when I lost it. I take my phone out, I was mad and I lost it.

“Perhaps the words I used were not good, but I was angry, like my mum has nothing to do with this, she’s in Kitengela looking at her cabbage and chicken. She doesn’t know reggae, let alone Damian Marley. Plus I don’t believe in insulting people’s mothers or their children.”

“To be honest I’m sorry, I’m an arrogant man at times, that aside the language, the profanity was excessive. It was wrong of me and I’m sorry for using the language.”

“Now, it’s unjustifiable, but don’t mistake that with me apologising for standing up against someone who is insulting my mother. For that I cannot and will not apologise.”

 

 

“Pia wewe ungechorea bro!” Sauti Sol responds to Chiko Lawi’s online rant

Some may consider Damian Marley’s reaction towards Chiko Lawi rude but hey sometimes it’s good to excuses your right of saying NO when need be.

We all saw the video of Chiko insulting Damian simply because the artist had refused to talk or rather take a selfie with him. Chiko is heard throwing around the F word and funny enough he uploaded it on his social media pages. According to Chiko, Damian had refused to take a photo with a certain young fan and this irritated him hence their confrontation.

He went on to say that the reggae artist also insulted him and this is why he could not hold back. In his post shared on Instagram he goes on to say that never in his life has he been ignored by Sauti Sol or Nyashinski who are also superstars but shockingly Sauti Sol were not in agreement with his reaction towards Damian. They wen ahead to comment to his post telling him that he should have held his cool instead of ranting out like someone who does not understand how the industry works.
