Nollywood actor and popular matchmaking figure, Lege Miami, has issued a clarification following a viral video in which he claimed he had “never enjoyed” his friendship with Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The earlier video generated significant reactions across social media, with many Nigerians interpreting his remark to mean he felt undervalued or sidelined by Seyi Tinubu. Lege has now said his comments were taken out of context.
In a new follow-up video shared online, he explained that the message behind his statement was misunderstood and stressed that his concerns were not about neglect, exploitation or lack of support.
He stated, “When I said I’ve never enjoyed Seyi Tinubu as a friend, I meant I’ve never stayed with him for two weeks, a month, or spent continuous time with him where he was sending me on errands.”
Lege said people assumed he was indirectly expressing dissatisfaction about Seyi’s treatment of him, but insisted that was not his intention.
The actor highlighted that Seyi Tinubu only reaches out occasionally to check on his wellbeing and that their relationship does not involve obligations, tasks or pressure. This, he explained, was the context behind his earlier statement.
Lege noted: “He only checks on me once in a while. He doesn’t send me on work or stress me. People misunderstood what I meant.”
