Seyi Awolowo had previously come under fire for comments that were deemed derogatory and offensive towards women. In response to the backlash, he issued an apology. However, during the live video interview, he expressed a desire to elaborate on his intentions behind those remarks.
While he acknowledged the need to apologize for any negative impact his statements may have had, Seyi Awolowo also stated that he believed the context of his words had been misunderstood. He further explained that he felt strongly about addressing the behavior of certain individuals he had referred to as “badly behaved women.”
In his own words, Seyi Awolowo stated, “I think I’m old school and I was raised a certain way. I don’t think I should compromise it for anything in the world, especially trying to make excuses for people.”
This suggests that he still stands by his initial sentiments, though he regrets any offense his words may have caused.

He mentioned that he was raised by a woman, namely his mother, and that he counted many female friends among his closest associates.
