She made it clear she used her verified account, not a fake one. The like was intentional, and she had no plans to take it back. Owamie said the statement met her standard because it was respectful and detailed enough for her.

Owami draws a hard line

The backlash came fast after someone posted the screenshot in her comments section. They questioned whether she truly meant to like the statement. Owamie confirmed that she did and stood firmly behind that position.

She told her followers that no amount of pressure would force her to take it back. Owamie said she would not be pushed into a corner over who she chooses to support online. She also pointed out that she had already made videos about the matter before all of this.
