In a candid statement, Michael detailed the confrontation he had with his father regarding the public discussion of their family’s private affairs. “I told him we need to talk.

I decided that this not the kind of person I should have respect for,” Michael expressed, underscoring the depth of his disillusionment.
Further exacerbating the rift, Michael disclosed unsettling remarks made by his father, Emeka Ike, indicating a lack of support for his son’s aspirations. “The next morning I got a ten minutes video.

If I see you on the side of the road, I will spit on you,” Michael shared, highlighting the hurtful nature of his father’s words.
