He wrote:

"Dear @Owolabbeey, Thank you for your feedback. I am not sure Naira Marley is even as wealthy as God has made me. Who should be giving who money? I interviewed Azeez because I believe he has a right to be heard, which the mob denied him. Boko Haram denied that same privilege to Leah Sharibu, and I have spent close to $100,000 of my own money to ensure she has the right to be heard. I don't have a trader's mentality where my mind thinks only in terms of financial gain.

“I come from a dignified long line of Olu of Warri, and my family has never known poverty from Ogiame Atuwatse I in 1625 to my grandfather, Ogiame Ikengbuwa II. If your allegation is true, may you get richer as I work harder instead of myself. But if you have falsely accused me, oh God, who I have served since childhood, may I become wealthier every time you work harder, instead of you. In Yeshua's Name, I pray. Thanks again.”
