Content creator and philanthropist Mitchell Mukoro, popularly known as King Mitchy, has publicly apologised for her recent controversial online actions, including consuming a substance during a live video.
In a heartfelt statement, she extended apologies to Seyi Tinubu Tinubu”], activist VeryDarkMan”,“Nigerian social activist”], the Ooni of Ife, and Nigerians, acknowledging her wrongdoing and expressing regret for disappointing young girls who look up to her.
“Good morning Nigerians. I’m ready to be held accountable for my actions. For some days I’ve thought about my behaviour and I know that I was wrong and I want to be held accountable. For the substance I took on live video, that was very wrong of me because there are young girls that are looking up to me one day and I know I disappointed a lot of people. That was wrong of me, I was wrong,” she said.
Addressing Seyi Tinubu, she added:
“I’m so sorry. I know I apologised privately but I disrespected you publicly, so I want to apologise publicly. I’m so sorry sir. I want you to know that I will never take your support for granted.”
To the Ooni of Ife, King Mitchy knelt and said,
“I’m so sorry, sir. I’m so sorry for bringing your name into this, I’m so sorry daddy.”
Speaking to VeryDarkMan, whom she described as her “brother,” she admitted understanding his advocacy:
“You’re fighting for Nigerians and we can make Nigeria a better place and I’m sorry for coming at you like that. Maybe now I understand you better because I had to step back and see the kind of person you are.”
The controversy began in late February when King Mitchy announced plans to renovate a dilapidated school in six days, sparking a feud with VeryDarkMan, who accused her of being used to improve the image of Seyi Tinubu’s administration. She also drew criticism after sharing what appeared to be a private chat with the Ooni of Ife.
The situation escalated when a live video showed her distraught and reportedly ingesting a substance thought to be bleach. Her management initially announced her death on Instagram but later retracted the claim, confirming she was alive and recovering.
Seyi Tinubu denied any involvement in the feud, stating he had met King Mitchy only once to support her NGO initiatives. VeryDarkMan had previously alleged that Seyi Tinubu was financing her projects and threatening his life, claims Seyi Tinubu denies.
King Mitchy’s public apology appears to mark a turning point in the saga, as she takes responsibility for her online behaviour and seeks reconciliation with those affected.
