Big Brother Naija All-Star housemate, Seyi Awolowo, has apologized to fans and other female housemates for his sexist comment last week.
Seyi who tendered an apology during the diary session yesterday, expressed regret over the statement after Big Brother informed him about the backlash the utterance had generated.
“I am married to a beautiful woman. My mother has been there for me. I shouldn’t have made that comment. It is a very dark thing to say about anybody’s child. It is very unfair.” He said.
NEWSTODAYNG recall that Seyi had told Whitemoney that he would give birth to boys who will have sexual relations with other women and claimed to have constructed a sham account for his son in order for him to have sex with other people’s daughters.
According to him, “I’m giving birth to boys so they can run trains on people’s daughters. I’ve opened a miscellaneous account to use and have sex with people’s daughters.”
His comment however generated controversy on social media as people deemed the comment offensive and misogynistic and called for his disqualification from the show.
Also reacting in a post on its official X handle, The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency wrote: “We strongly condemn the comments made by Seyi Awolowo in the disturbing video that has surfaced. Such remarks perpetuate harmful attitudes and contribute to a culture of violence and abuse.
“The bystanders’ passive response in the video is also deeply concerning because it only enables such behaviour to persist. It is important for us all to actively speak up in circumstances such as this”.
