“This apology is long overdue. But it was necessary to take time to fully process and reflect on everything that’s happened. I firstly want everyone, most especially the women on the receiving end of those communications, to know that from the bottom of my heart, I’m truly sorry and absolutely ashamed about all of it,” he wrote.
Mr Adjaye, popularly known as Deezy, added that “I did not carry myself in a respectable manner at all and that behaviour is not acceptable from me or anyone for that matter.”

Deezy, in reaction to the backlash, stated that he is working on himself and on being a better person in the future especially since everyone he has come into contact with deserved so much better from him.
“There are no words that can possibly convey how remorseful I am but I believe the best apology is changed behaviour and so from now on, I will dedicate myself to being much more respectful and mindful in all my dealings…that’s all I will strive for moving forward.”
