Your apology post doesn’t mean we’ll return as lovers, Alexx Ekubo tells Fancy in leaked audio.
An audio recording of a conversation between Fancy Acholonu and Alexx Ekubo about her apology post has surfaced online.
Acholonu has been in the news since she apologised to the film star in December for calling off their wedding in 2021.
The apology post has continued to elicit intense reactions on social media. It has also sparked several outbursts from Fancy.
In the now-viral audio, the pair were heard discussing how best to manage the controversy trailing the apology post.
Ekubo, in the clip, appreciated Fancy for the courage to apologise.
He also told her that the post does not “guarantee that we’re coming back in the relationship”.
“A lot is happening and there are so many people fighting on our behalf…just like l said in the beginning, I said this is not a post to guarantee that we’re coming back in the relationship but that if we want to talk and be cordial to each other, this is the first step to righting the wrong…,” Ekubo said.
“I’ve asked myself after this post, what am I going to say or write in this tense atmosphere that will not turn into another roller-coaster again, you know that you and I are not there… we’re not back in a relationship for me to come out and say oh, I still love you too Fancy.
“Because that would be a clear position that this is what we’re doing and to hell with anybody… there are three things in this whole scenario… it’s either I come out to say I love you too — which isn’t true — or I come out to bash you, which will never happen on my part. The third one will be a lukewarm answer which will neither be here nor there. That’s why when you asked me, I told you to tell me what you want me to say or write.
“After your post, l called you twice and appreciated you for what you did, that it doesn’t have to end this way and that we don’t need to fight… personally, I’ve always maintained silence. What you did was necessary for the action that was taken at the time. You’ll always be my friend. This too shall pass. I’m a very careful person.”
In another part of the audio, the pair were heard engaging in a heated argument after Fancy asked the actor if he was happy about the apology.
“Don’t tell me there’s something you’re expecting to hear, before I make any move, I calculate everything. Yes, you showed me the post you wrote before posting it,” Ekubo said.
“Now, I’m always asking what do you want me to write under your post that will be okay for you. I’m not doing any post about this on my page, if I’m going to do any acknowledgment, it’ll be under your post. Please, I don’t want the back and forth, I’m not happy about this whole thing.”
