Warri Pikin Takes Responsibility

Rather than dismissing the reactions to the viral clip, Warri Pikin publicly accepted responsibility for what happened.

In her apology, the comedian asked Nigerians to forgive her and explained that she had not anticipated how the stage moment would unfold.

She said she was backstage enjoying Timaya’s performance when the singer asked for a woman to come out.

According to Warri Pikin, she reacted instinctively because she was caught up in the excitement of the performance.

“Nigerians, please take it easy on me, I’m really sorry. I take full responsibility for my actions. Na me put myself for this one o.”

She stressed that she had not known what Timaya had planned for the woman he invited onto the stage.

What Happened During Timaya’s Performance?

Warri Pikin explained that she was backstage when Timaya called for a woman to join him during his performance.

She said she quickly made her way onto the stage because she was enjoying the performance and wanted to join in the moment.

However, she said she was unaware that Timaya intended to carry the woman who came out during his performance of “Ukwu.”

That, according to her account, was why she became hesitant when the singer indicated that she should jump towards him.

“I no know say if Timaya wan perform that him song, Ukwu, him must bring woman come out outside make him carry am. I no know.”

Warri Pikin said her reaction was therefore not based on an understanding of what was about to happen.

She Says She Tried To Decline

The comedian also maintained that she did not immediately agree when Timaya indicated what he wanted her to do on stage.

She said she was surprised and attempted to decline the invitation.

“Na him e say I go jump for him body. I shock. I say no oo.”

Warri Pikin added that viewers who watch the complete video would see her hesitation before she eventually participated in the performance.

She said Timaya encouraged her to continue because declining at that point could disrupt the show.

“If you watch the full video, you go see where I dey beg am. I was very reluctant.”

Warri Pikin Says Her Husband Is Upset

The comedian’s apology also brought her husband, Ikechukwu, into the conversation.

Warri Pikin said her husband was upset with her following the incident and appealed to people not to be angry with her.

“Him say no oo. Na you come outside o. No spoil my performance. Na him I do am o. Make una no vex for me abeg.”

She then acknowledged that the situation was particularly difficult because she was in America while her husband was far away.

“Like this now Ikechukwu dey vex for me and you know say I dey America, e too far.”

Her statement presents the reported disagreement as part of her own explanation of the aftermath; the supplied material does not include a separate statement from Ikechukwu.
