King Promise Stands by Efia Odo: “She’s Been a Supportive Friend”

Afrobeats sensation King Promise, born Gregory Bortey Newman, has addressed the ongoing scrutiny of his relationship with popular media personality Efia Odo. In a recent interview with YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon, the “Paris” singer affirmed his unwavering support and affection for Efia Odo, highlighting their deep and longstanding friendship.

In a candid conversation, King Promise shared that Efia Odo has been a close friend for over eight years, providing unwavering support long before he achieved fame. He emphasized the strength of their bond and the loyalty she has shown throughout his career.

“I don’t know. I have 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,” King Promise explained. “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.”

This statement comes in response to the wave of criticism from fans and social media users who have questioned the friendship between the musician and the media personality, suggesting that King Promise distance himself from her.

Despite the backlash, King Promise remains steadfast, valuing the authenticity and support Efia Odo has consistently provided. Prior to the TGMA night, Efia Odo was openly supportive of King Promise, expressing her hope that he would be crowned Artiste of the Year due to his outstanding contributions to music.

With King Promise’s clear stance, it seems that social media critics will have to come to terms with the enduring friendship between the two. Their public appearances, including at the recent TGMAs, underscore the strong connection they share.

In addition to his personal declarations, King Promise has just released his new album, “True to Self,” which is now available on all streaming platforms. His continued success in the music industry, bolstered by loyal friends like Efia Odo, speaks volumes about the power of genuine relationships in the often tumultuous world of entertainment.
