Ruggedman to 9ice: Your apology came too late

Days back, ‘Gongo Aso’ crooner, 9ice, tendered a public apology to Ruggedman over their strained relationship in the last six years, which was occasioned by the singer's famous song, 'Once bitten twice shy' that was said to have been misconstrued by many who were made to believe 9ice was referring to Ruggedman for allegedly having amorous relationship with his wife.

All efforts by Ruggedman to make 9ice clear his name from the public embarrassment that trailed his career for six years fell on deaf ears, as 9ice was said to have insisted on many occasions that he would not want to be dragged into the matter.

At a time many people believed that the matter had finally been laid to rest following 9ice's apology to Ruggedman weeks back, the latter believes the former's apology came rather too late.

In an open letter to 9ice on Thursday, Ruggedman said his erstwhile friend's apology came too late.
Excerpts from the letter read:"To 9ice, bro you left it a bit too late. You had your chance to clear this matter up six years ago when it really mattered, but you did not take it. I do not know why and exactly what it was that made you keep quiet all that while. I did my best to clear my name without you and I have moved on since. Anyways I accept your apology and thank God we are all alive."
