The actor was recently interviewed by media personality Chude Jideonwo on the latest episode of the Just Chude podcast, and while there, he spoke about the backlash he received for his misogynistic statement in 2023.

He said, "I admit that it was messed up, and at that point in time, let's put it this way: I had already lost the show even before that statement."

"The house had already gotten to me, but that's not an excuse. I was not sure how to react to the people in the house or if I was to give it back to them in their own language or just look for another way to survive," he added.

Seyi clarified that alcohol did not cause his behaviour but acknowledged that it heightened his emotions. "What I said, in honesty, has been said by a lot of men, but the way I said it out of emotion made it worse," he admitted. He likened his comments to "locker room chatter" or "beer parlour talk," emphasizing that the emotions behind his statement were what he regretted.
