    Mr Real apologises to D’banj over CREAM platform remark

    Singer Okafor Victor, popularly known as Mr. Real, has apologised to D’banj over comments he made about the singer’s Creative, Reality, Entertainment, Arts and Music (CREAM) platform.

    In an Instagram post, Mr Real expressed remorse, acknowledging D’banj’s influence on his life and career, and describing him as a “father figure and mentor”.

    He pledged to cooperate with the legal process and reaffirmed his loyalty and respect for D’banj.
