US based event promoter, Eche-Enzina Emole has retracted a widely-circulated anti-EME statement and tendered an apology publicly on his company’s facebook page.
Emole, whose company, Royal Entertainment,
was in charge of the North American leg of the EME tour, says the
reason behind his earlier anti-EME statements was the intensity of the
situation; and information he got from those who claimed to be familiar
with the EME team.
Both parties had gotten into a
disagreement following the cancellation of the California leg of EME’s
ongoing North American tour.
‘The information presented to me was
100% false. Allegations were made about Banky’s character, and while we
may have believed them at the time, those allegations have proven
themselves to be completely untrue. To his credit, Mr Wellington and EME
acted with dignity through the whole ordeal, and Royal Entertainment
would like to publicly apologize for the way we handled the situation.
Royal Entertainment would furthermore like to publicly retract what we,
or any of our affiliates, have said negatively about Banky W and EME’, Emole wrote.
He continues, stating that his earlier insinuation of Banky W lying about Wizkid’s sickness was borne out of anger and has been confirmed untrue, ‘Furthermore,
we would like to address the allegations that Banky W. had never
planned to be in California. We have come to find out that this
information was 100% false. As you can imagine, We felt betrayed and
went on a public tirade against EME, and Banky W. Sparks flew, tempers
raged, and certain statements were issued, on twitter and in the
Nigerian Entertainment blogosphere, due to the intensity of the
situation at hand… Royal Entertainment acknowledges that EME explained
the reason for thecancellation of the California Show and apologized to
us. While we areextremely disappointed, we accepted the apology.’
He however confirmed that EME has agreed
to refund his company all the monies spent promoting the event as well
as fans who purchased tickets, hoping to watch the show, ‘…on behalf
of Royal Entertainment, EME, Alore Media and all parties involved,
Royal Entertainment would like to apologize to the fans, and furthermore
promise that we will make every effort to ensure something like this
will not happen again. Thank you for your support, understanding and
love, he concluded.
