This follows after King Illest hosted a birthday party over the weekend and pictures started circulating of him in an attire that looks like one of the SDA uniforms, however in his apology King Illest said he did not intend to have an attire that looks like a uniform or ridicule the church in anyway.
He explained his motive and apology in a social media post which read GREETINGS ; Read statement below!
“I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO SINCERELY APOLOGISE TO THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH AND COMMUNITY OVER MY BIRTHDAY PARTY OUTFIT, IT WAS NOT MEANT TO RIDICULE OR TO MOCK THE CHURCH,
MY OUTFIT WAS DELIVERED LATE BECAUSE MY TAILOR HAD NOT FINISHED WITH IT,WHICH ACTUALLY DELAYED THE WHOLE ENTIRE PROGRAMME AND IT WAS ONLY DELIVERED TO ME ON MY WAY TO THE PARTY
I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO COUNTER CHECK IT OR TRY TO FIT IT PROPERLY BECAUSE I WAS BEHIND TIME
MY OUTFIT WAS HIGHLY INSPIRED BY THE KING OF THAILAND’S REGALIA AND TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE LATE KING HIS MAJESTY “KING BHUMIBOL’S” BIRTHDAY OF THAILAND WHICH IS CELEBRATED ON THE 5TH DECEMBER A DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION,THE BOTTLE OF D’USSE AM HOLDING IN THE CIRCULATING PICS WAS ALSO JUST ANOTHER WAY OF PAYING HOMAGE TO ONE OF MY MUSICAL IDOLS JAY Z AS IT WAS HIS ACTUAL BIRTHDAY ON THE (4TH DECEMBER)AND OWNS THE ALCOHOL BRAND
IT WAS NOT MY WILL TO TARNISH THE NAME OF THE CHURCH, I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING INTENTIONALLY BECAUSE MY MOTHER IS AN ADVENTIST AND IS A DORCAS WORKER,
MY TAILOR MIGHT HAVE OVERLOOKED THE DETAIL AND MEANING OF THE BADGES BUT I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE I AM THE IMAGE IN THIS CASE.
MY HUMBLE REQUEST IS THAT AS A LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH YOU FIND IT WITHIN YOURSELVES TO FORGIVE ME FOR THIS ACT AND TO ALSO MAKE IT KNOWN TO YOUR CHURCH MEMBERS THAT THIS WAS NOT INTENTIONAL.
I WILL PAY MORE ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING THAT IS DONE IN LINE OF MY WORK NOT TO INJURE PERSONS ORGANIZATION, GROUPING OR CHURCH.
IN FULL RESPECT OF THE CHURCH, MY TEAM WILL EDIT OUT ALL THE CHURCH BUDGES ON THE PICTURES THAT WILL BE POSTED ON THIS PAGE.
BELOW IS THE PICTURE OF THE KING OF THAILAND WERE I GOT MY INSPIRATION FROM”
