Now, Cee C who came out as the second runner-up of the 2018 edition of the TV show, has spoken up on the issue.

Cee C took to her Instagram page on Sunday, April 29, to defend the TV host who she referred to as her mentor.

Read her reaction below:

“I have a lot to address and answer but I will address this particular issue.

“An interview with someone I respect, admire and see as my mentor was drawn to my attention.

“Like I said in the house, I met @ebuka at an event he hosted. The fact that you meet somebody doesn’t mean that the person has to remember you.

“@ebuka is huge in this industry and probably meets over 100,000 people a week. So, therefore, he has every right to say he has not met me.

“What I said in the house was from the view of someone who does not understand the industry.

“Guys, I have met and had conversations with a lot of people this week that would as well say they have met me and I can’t even remember.

“To my fans, I do appreciate you all for always having my back. Where did you guys get that picture from? I advise we take it easy with the bashing, negativity, etc.”

Most importantly, Cee C implored fans and haters alike to stop with the bashing and it was well called for.

Since the seemingly incriminating photo turned up on social media, Ebuka has been dragged mercilessly on social media and branded a liar.
