Media personality Roby Ekpo has issued an apology following the backlash that trailed his emotional outburst during a recent public clash with his estranged wife, Mayowa Lambe.
The controversy erupted weeks after Mayowa married David Ayuba in the United States, surprising many who still believed she was married to Roby. Although the couple tied the knot in November 2015, neither had publicly confirmed their separation before news of her new marriage surfaced.
Roby Ekpo later opened up about their relationship on an episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, where he discussed challenges in the marriage, particularly around intimacy.
He also alleged that Mayowa deceived him and secretly used contraceptives to avoid pregnancy, claims that further intensified public debate across social media platforms.
His emotional comments sparked widespread reactions online, with celebrities including Yul Edochie and Do2dtun engaging in a heated exchange over his public display of vulnerability.
In a recent Instagram post, Roby expressed gratitude to supporters while apologising to those offended by his emotional reaction. He described himself as someone who loves deeply and said his actions were driven by genuine feelings.
“Hello people, thank you for all the support and kind words. The DMs, the emails and calls. I love you all. My heart feels lighter and free. For those who my tears offended, I am sorry. Pain leaves the body in many forms. Na love I love. I only know how to love deeply,” he wrote.
“Na the Roby way be that. From this point, it’s my work, my career and my undying passion to be good to myself and be softer with myself. Man must see life, but again man must grow with lessons. I am on a journey! Every other matter is being handled by my lawyers. Thank you and God bless us all.”
He added that he is now shifting focus toward his career and personal development, stating that any remaining issues from the relationship will be handled through legal channels.
