AY wrote to the singer:

“There is a difference between entertaining the Obedient audience at a fee and sitting, planning, strategically and directly with our stakeholders for a better Nigeria. Our EndSars social media showcase only cost us lives without getting the expected results. To you, on social media, I am sitting on the fence."

After AY’s response, Okoye returned to take his words back and tender an unreserved apology for speaking out on social media when he could have personally reached the comedian.
