“I’m all about love and peace. I’m putting my matter with Somizi to rest and I won’t entertain it. I can see some people want to be famous by using me to attack Somizi. I don’t have a problem with Somizi.”
Somizi, on the other hand, expressed his disappointment with how the event was handled. He stated,
“In the 45 years I have been in the industry, this was the worst event I have ever been to. I am the most professional person.”
He also requested an apology from Man B for the harsh words used during their initial confrontation, though Man B declined to apologize.
The Backstory: What Sparked the Feud?
The disagreement stemmed from an event where Somizi was hired as the Master of Ceremonies (MC). According to Man B, Somizi failed to fulfill his obligations, leaving the event prematurely and disappointing attendees. This led to a public outcry on social media, with Man B accusing Somizi of disrespect and unprofessionalism.
Somizi, however, defended his actions, stating that the event organizers had let him down. He argued that the poor management of the event was the root cause of the issues, not his professionalism.
