In his heartfelt message, the actor expressed sincere appreciation to those who have reached out with genuine love, prayers, and concern for his mental and emotional well-being.

He openly admitted that all is not well at the moment, but for the sake of his family, loyal friends, supportive fans, and most importantly his children, he is learning to take one step at a time and move forward.
“72 hours of endless tears still can’t bring back my Shuga boo.
To everyone who has genuinely reached out to me with love and concern for my state of mind and well-being through countless calls, messages, and voice notes.
I see them all.
I truly do.
I’m just too weak right now to read, listen, respond, or even find the words to express how I really feel.
All is not well at the moment.
But for the sake of our family, friends, and the fans who have shown up in prayers, posts, calls, and overwhelming love – and most especially for my children, who will draw strength from me as we learn to move on without our Shuga Boo, our Ibiayo, our Eniobanke, our Allwell Ademola.
I promise to stand strong
Please, when you see me, don’t try to console me because I will break down.
I still can’t say farewell.
Shuga boo”.
