And the twitter drama that ensured earlier today, prompting my earlier blog post here, has finally been handled by all parties concerened. Here is an apology letter from iCirculate PR on behalf of their client.
First of all, iCirculate would like to commend Chocolate City’s
recording artist, Victoria Kimani on her overall success and growth and
on that of the release of her mix-tape, “Queen Victoria.” We’d also like
to commend the label, Chocolate City on their overall achievement in
producing the finest of artistes and ensuring overall success.
Today, the 7th day of November 2013, it was brought to our attention
that song writer and singer, Saeon took to twitter to share what some
may refer to as her opinion on the said mix-tape by the lovely Victoria
Kimani. While some may also say “everyone is entitled to their opinion”,
we do not agree with her actions.
Following the incident, we
have addressed the matter internally (and still on it) and have asked
for Saeon to issues a sincere apology to all parties involved. During
this internal meeting we made Saeon understand that her actions were not
just unnecessary but unfair to the time and hard work invested by
Victoria Kimani and her team put into the mix-tape. Hence, Saeon’s open
apology on twitter. It will follow with an apology letter from her as
well. (Screen shot image of apology attached).
We’d also like
to thank M.I who handled the situation with maturity and
professionalism. We respect M.I and Chocolate City. Instead of taking
things public, we discussed privately, shared sentiments, we apologized
and we hope there isn't any animosity, which we would understand if
there was.
We also apologize to Blackmagic for the name calling
on twitter by Saeon. She also understands that personal issues can be
handled much more differently via emails and phone calls, civilly.
All of the artists mentioned are great talents and produce different
sounds and styles of music. We wish everyone equal success and hope that
some time in the future, they can work together and give you 100%
beautiful music as they are doing currently.
We truly
appreciate your time for reading through this and we hope the public
itself forgives Saeon for her behavior from earlier today.
Kind regards,
Tope Oyewole,
PR
iCirculate
