In a post shared by @misterreal_ on Instagram, singer Mr Real issued a public apology to D’banj following tension over comments about the CREAM platform that reportedly led to a petition for criminal defamation.
In the video, Mr Real described D’banj as a mentor and expressed regret for the tone and public framing of his remarks, signaling willingness to resolve the dispute privately. The episode has been cited by fans as a reminder that online commentary can quickly become legal exposure.
The Nation Newspaper confirmed the apology and quoted Mr Real saying he misunderstood aspects of the CREAM platform. References to the legal angle note that D’banj’s counsel had previously filed the petition before the apology surfaced.
Echotitbits take: This is “humility over headache.” Mr Real likely clocked the seriousness of criminal defamation risk and chose a soft landing. For D’banj, the apology reinforces elder-statesman authority in the industry—respect still carries weight even in the social-media era.
