Man tenders apology to Mercy Chinwo, others over allegation of child’s paternity

A social media troll issues an apology to the gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo, and her husband, Pastor Blessed after an allegation of child’s paternity involving Nathaniel Bassey.

The troll identified as Okoronkwo Ejike on Facebook made a post, questioning the paternity of the singer’s son, Charis hours after his parents unveiled his face.

Ejike’s post claimed that the baby had a striking resemblance to gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey. He also insisted that the child belonged to Bassey and dismissed any other possibility.

He even hinted at the notion of a romantic relationship between the two gospel singers that could have resulted in the baby.

In his words, “This is the true face of Mercy Chinwo’s child she was hiding after giving birth. But the truth is that this little baby looks exactly like Singer Nathaniel Bassey.

“Nothing anybody wan reason me oh, this child is Nathaniel Bassey’s baby, just maybe there was a secret away match that occurred, otherwise how can we make empirical sense of this.”

The post quickly gained traction and faced strong criticism from internet users. As a result, Ejike felt compelled to issue an apology for his remarks.

In his follow-up apology post, he wrote, “I hereby tender an unreserved apology to Mercy Chinwo, Nathaniel Bassey and Pastor Blessed for my take on the striking resemblance of Pastor Blessed’s baby.

“And to everyone who got hurt over my post, I’m deeply very sorry. Love and light for Cosmic positive vibrations, Shalom.”
