Charly Boy
Popular Nigerian musician and good governance activist, Charles Oputa, otherwise called Charly Boy, has explained why he apologised to his lesbian daughter, Dewy Oputa after she accused him of neglect.
Dewy had called out her father on Instagram, when he revealed how he felt about her sexuality.
Charly Boy had stressed that he is in support of his daughter, irrespective of her choice of a sexual partner.
But Dewy who didn’t seem pleased with her father’s statement accused him of being a ‘hypocrite’.
But speaking with Daily Post, Charly Boy said he apologised to his daughter because he realised he was encroaching into her private life.
“I apologised because I had same clash with my father who was trying to doctor my life. I resisted and said no, I will tell my own story.
“I did not realise I was encroaching. Even though initially when I heard, like any other parent, I was concerned but then I cannot be hypocritical because I have fought for LGBT right and some many rights. So because of my daughter, I can’t change.
“When I realised that, I apologised to her because we are friends. It is not a father-daughter relationship, we are buddy and that is the special bond I share with all my children,” he added.
