Mide firstly apologised to people who might have been disappointed in her due to the claims of the blogger and noted that she would have loved to settle the matter within her family instead of social media.
The actress continued by expressing how broken and devastated she was when her mum died and her brother Damilare, had to stay with their grandmother outside Lagos.
After the death of the old woman, the boy moved on to live with an uncle who denied her custody several times.
Mide also stated that she is not a heartless person and it was not possible for her to have neglected her brother as there is more to the story than people see.
