The world of social media was set ablaze earlier today after popular Nigerian influencer, Beauty Goddess, publicly apologized to fellow influencer and actress Priscilla Ojo for comments that appeared to downplay her recent wedding celebrations. The apology came in response to backlash over a live video session that many fans felt was dismissive and ill-timed, especially given the high-profile nature of Priscilla’s nuptials.
Beauty Goddess, known for her vibrant personality and massive following, took to her Instagram stories just an hour ago to issue a heartfelt apology. In the statement, she acknowledged the hurt caused by her previous remarks and expressed deep regret for how her words may have been perceived. “I’ve seen some of the reactions to the live I did, and honestly, I understand why people are upset. It came off like I was being dismissive about Priscilla’s wedding, and I hate that it even looked like that,” she wrote.
In what has quickly become a trending topic across various social media platforms, fans and followers have been dissecting every word of her apology. Beauty Goddess didn’t shy away from taking responsibility for her actions, stating clearly that the way she expressed herself was “messy,” and that she “wasn’t thinking about how it would sound.” She insisted that there was no malice behind her words and that she would “never intentionally try to make it about me or take away from your moment.”
Addressing Priscilla directly, she said, “Priscilla, if you see this I’m really really sorry. I love and respect you so much and God knows how excited I’ve been for your big day.” Her tone conveyed the weight of her remorse, as she emphasized how much she values their relationship and admires Priscilla’s journey.
The wedding in question has been one of the most talked-about events in the Nigerian entertainment scene this year. Priscilla Ojo, daughter of veteran actress Iyabo Ojo, tied the knot with her longtime partner, Mr. Mkambala, in a glamorous ceremony that was the toast of social media. With A-list celebrities in attendance and luxurious aesthetics that dominated the timelines, it was a moment meant to celebrate love, legacy, and new beginnings.
But the celebratory mood was momentarily disrupted after Beauty Goddess's remarks during a live video were interpreted by fans as casting a shadow over the joyous occasion. Although she didn’t directly insult or criticize the event, her tone and choice of words led many to believe she wasn’t being as supportive as expected. The backlash was swift and unforgiving, with many accusing her of jealousy and trying to redirect attention to herself.
However, in her apology, she was quick to refute those claims. “The last thing I’d ever want is to make your day feel less than perfect, especially over something like this,” she said. “I have no bad intentions at all and I’m deeply sorry to Mr. and Mrs. Mkambala.”
The apology seems to have softened the stance of some fans who previously called her out, with many appreciating her decision to take accountability publicly. “I’m still learning, still growing, but I’m always going to hold myself accountable,” she admitted, showing a level of maturity that many of her followers say is refreshing to see from influencers.
The sincerity in her words was evident, as she concluded the message by wishing Priscilla and her new husband “all the love and happiness in the world.” Her statement, while simple, struck a chord with many who understand the complex world of friendships, fame, and public perception.
While Beauty Goddess has had her fair share of controversies in the past, this incident highlights the delicate nature of communication in the digital age. One wrong sentence, even if unintentional, can spiral into a storm that takes sincere effort to undo. In this case, her swift and candid apology might just be what saves the relationship and her reputation in the eyes of fans.
Still, the incident serves as a powerful reminder to influencers everywhere: words matter. And in a world where everything is screenshot and shared in seconds, being careful with how we express ourselves is no longer just important—it’s essential.
As Priscilla basks in the glow of her new life chapter, many will be watching closely to see if she acknowledges the apology or responds publicly. But regardless of what comes next, one thing is clear—Beauty Goddess has shown a willingness to own up to her mistakes and do better, a trait that is becoming increasingly rare in the fast-paced world of internet fame.
