Apparently, Itele sent a DM to the blogger explaining that he is a god-fearing man who genuinely had no idea about what his family members were going through.

Itele explained that the video of his ex-wife and kids which made it to social media got him in an emotional state and he couldn’t even get any sleep.

“This is not me. I knew that house to be her mum’s house. I never knew that’s where the kids are living now. But I’m not trying to defend myself. I accept all the faults and I will do the needful,” Itele wrote in screenshots of a conversation with the blogger which was posted online.

The King of Thieves star added that things have not been easy for him. The Gistlover handler also stressed that he wasn’t exposed for ridicule but simply to be held accountable and take proper care of his family.

"Apart from sending them money and getting accommodation, pls itele, try and have a good relationship with your kids. It shows you don’t talk to them often that’s why you don’t know where they stay or anything personal about them. Get your first son a phone so you can speak to them directly time to time. May God give you speedy recovery."
