The journalist accused Davido of tarnishing her brand and reputation, noting that despite numerous industry insiders urging him to apologize, he never did. Over the years, this incident fueled her negative reports about him.

However, Olunloyo has now decided to forgive Davido and announced that she will no longer report on him or any related matters.

She extended her best wishes to Davido, Chioma, their twins, his other children, and their forthcoming baby, wishing them happiness as a family.

She wrote;

“I will no longer report or post about David or anything or anyone pertaining to him as I promised after my 30 yrs retirement from Journalism. The same way Tunde Ednut and Linda Ikeji don’t post about me or Cardi B and the Shade room. News doesn’t work that way. Anyone should be able to post about anything anytime. I genuinely wish David and Chioma, their twins, all his children from other women and their upcoming baby well in their future endeavors as a happy family and will forgive Davido TODAY June 24th 2024 so help me God. To everyone in the Nigerian entertainment industry who intervened from October 20th 2018 (which happens to be the DOB of their late child in 2019) to June 24th 2024, I have let go. Everyone should move on. Nobody will be here in 2124.”
