Amid the whirlwind of his divorce saga with Porsha Williams, Simon Guobadia hit pause and shared a candid apology for tainting his family name.
“My life is not a storyline,” Simon stated emphatically. “My life is a story of perseverance.”
Now, if that isn’t a mic-drop moment, I don’t know what is.
Read Simon’s full statement below:
The Guobadia Family has always been a prideful family.
Probably one of the largest families in Nigeria.
Our name is literally tied to one single family.
Meaning, most people with the last name ‘Guobadia’ are related.
So, when one of their family members is reduced to a ‘Storyline,’ thousands of family members are also affected by the narrative created and meant to destroy.
I want to publicly acknowledge and apologize to my family; the GUOBADIAS for the pain my poor judgment may have caused and brought upon our family name.
I’m so sorry. I beg for your forgiveness.🙏🏾

But wait, there’s more! Simon didn’t just leave us hanging with an apology.
He also dropped a tantalizing teaser for a new podcast.
I was recently approached to do a podcast; a platform that would help segment my messaging—building off decades of living and accumulating knowledge; that now needs to be shared across multiple platforms.
There are 46 million people in America that look like me, and another 1.3 billion people in Africa.
Both do not always share the same sensibilities as we’ve come to find out.
It is time to share and appreciate my life journey in multiple spaces.
Of course, the comments section couldn’t resist a little shade.
One follower quipped, “Just don’t bring up Porsha 🙄.”
