King Promise stressed that the disapproval of others towards Efia Odo’s personality does not justify ending his friendship with her.
In an interview with YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon, King Promise addressed the speculations regarding his relationship with Efia Odo, with some suggesting they were romantically involved.
When asked about the public’s issue with their relationship, he reacted calmly, “I don’t know. I’ve asked some of my friends why they don’t like her, but they can’t give me a reason. Maybe it’s because they don’t appreciate her character, but for me, I appreciate her uniqueness.”
He added, “I’ve known Efia for about eight years, long before I gained fame, and she has always been supportive of everything I do. So why should I abandon my friend just because you don’t like her? Does that make sense? It certainly doesn’t make sense.”
