“I feel we’re all humans and we make mistakes. We can all get angry at him, but we can also forgive him,” he shared.
He further described King Paluta as a humble and respectful person based on his personal interactions with him, adding that the rapper may have acted out of anger at the time.
“I’ve met him just once but he’s so humble. I mostly speak to him on the phone and the way he talks to me made me realise he’s respectful. Maybe he was triggered and he couldn’t control himself,” he noted.
Kaakyire Kwame Appiah appealed to the public to accept King Paluta’s apology and move on, emphasising the importance of forgiveness.
“Since he has apologised, we should forgive him,” he added.
