The incident quickly attracted the attention of many social media users, with many calling the ex-MAVIN star names.
However, the 25-year-old musician, whose real name is Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, said that the incident was a prank taken too far.
In a tweet, he berated a section of the media for blowing up the incident, saying it was done to tarnish his image.
He wrote: “It is truly a problem when a media platform begins to pursue shock value at the expense of an artistes’ image.
“So that was a prank call on a tv show, it was funny then , but I do not like where this is headed!”
