The Enca news reader took to his X account on Wednesday, 8 January to apologise to the singer and the public.

He shared the video from the news channel and captioned it:

"I made an honest mistake, which I corrected shortly afterward on air. It was a slip of the tongue as I ad-libbed the story. I take full responsibility for the error. To those seeking to amplify this for attention: do what you must trend and stay blessed."
