Fast-rising Nigerian artiste Fido has issued a public apology over previous remarks and actions, admitting that ego and inexperience influenced some of his decisions.
In a statement shared on X, the “Joy Is Coming” crooner took responsibility for his conduct. He said the speed of his rise to prominence left him navigating personal growth under intense public attention.
“There’s no easy way to write this, so I’ll just say it plainly. I messed up,” he wrote.
Fido explained that fame arrived quickly, shifting him from aspiring musician to headline act within a short period. According to him, while audiences watched his career grow, he was still learning about himself and adjusting to the demands of stardom.
He acknowledged making statements he now regrets and said pride, excitement and limited experience shaped some of his choices.
The singer apologised directly to fans who support and promote his music. He also addressed critics, thanking those who held him accountable rather than dismissing him entirely.
Beyond his fan base, Fido extended his apology to the wider Afrobeats ecosystem, including industry veterans and colleagues who may have felt disappointed by his words or actions.
He said he deliberately stepped back to reflect, choosing humility over defensiveness. The period of introspection, he added, has helped him reassess his conduct and priorities.
Fido assured supporters that his forthcoming projects will reflect a deeper sense of awareness and gratitude. He promised that the next phase of his music career will showcase personal growth and renewed respect for the platform he occupies.
Describing the moment as a turning point, the singer concluded that he remains committed to evolving both personally and professionally as he prepares for his next chapter.
