Former Sailors Gang member Shalkido has apologised to comedian Terence Creative. The apology comes after weeks of online tension between the two. In a video shared online, a remorseful Shalkido said his previous outbursts were due to frustration and personal struggles.
He described Terence as a “big brother” and a mentor, and asked for his forgiveness.
“As my big brother and as a mentor, man, I am so sorry. I was just a boy. It’s just problems that get to a person, man. So you just talk, and then you mess up,” Shalkido said in the video.
Mending Fences
The apology is a major turnaround in what had become a very public disagreement. For weeks, Shalkido had been using his social media pages to criticise Terence Creative.
This led to a lot of backlash from fans and other entertainers. His latest message, however, shows a young artist who wants to make amends and move on.
The rapper also thanked those who have supported him during the difficult time. He gave a shout-out to his “boss,” Obinna, and Eric Omondi’s community Team Sisi Kwa Sisi, who recently gave him a motorbike.
“Thank you so much for the motorbike. Team Obinna, and everyone who has decided to support me, may God bless you so much,” he added.
The Pressures of Fame
While many people have praised Shalkido for his humility, others are wondering if the apology is genuine or a clever PR move.
No matter the reason, the incident highlights the challenges young artists face when dealing with fame, money worries, and public expectations.
What Fans Think
@adi_moriso called him “a gentleman.”
@_its_andreh suggested money had humbled him.
@herbosakura praised the rapper’s public relations team.
For many, whether the apology was a strategic move or truly heartfelt, it offers a rare glimpse into the more vulnerable side of an artist who was previously at the centre of a controversy.
