Charly Boy had recently reacted to the events in Gabon where the ousted President Ali Bongo was seen crying for help in a viral video after he was placed under house arrest by military coup leaders in the country, with one of his sons arrested for treason.

Recall that earlier on Sunday, Charly Boy expressed pains that God is not heeding his prayer in Nigeria as He has done in Gabon, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, where soldiers had staged coups to overthrow the elected governments.

Several news platforms, however, interpreted the post to mean that the 73-year-old singer was advocating for a coup in Nigeria.

However, after receiving a series of backlash online, Charly Boy, in a fresh post on his Twitter page on Sunday night, said his earlier post was misinterpreted and blasted news media that ran it for engaging in “cheap, stupid sensationalism”.

“Dem wan take me do escape goat? How “E dey Pain Me” turn into a call for coup. Der fathers”, the singer wrote on X formerly known as Twitter.
