According to the movie star, the question was never intended or meant to chase clout, adding that anyone who finds the question offensive should forgive her.
She said, “I sincerely want to apologise to anybody who got offended by the question I asked Imisi a couple of hours ago at her party. If you find my question offensive, I am sorry. Find a place in your heart to forgive me. Whoever is dragging me, fighting me, abusing me, please don’t be offended.”
The loggerheads began when Imisi’s mother posted videos online, saying she had been abandoned and still lived in poor conditions despite Imisi’s N150 million win.

She said the sudden public outburst shocked her because the relationship had always been strained.

Imisi explained that she has supported her mother over the years and had sent money even in the days leading up to the controversy.
She added that she cannot use her prize money for personal comfort of one person since many family members now depend on her.
