Controversial online personality Bongo Ideas has quietly reached out to Ghanaian content creator Kwadwo Sheldon to issue an unreserved apology after publishing unverified claims about him.
The apology followed a sensational post Bongo made, alleging that Kwadwo Sheldon had secretly tied the knot abroad. But the narrative quickly shifted after Bongo slipped into Sheldon’s direct messages, admitting he acted on unconfirmed information.
In his message, Bongo confessed that the rumour originated from an unnamed source and admitted he failed to verify the story before rushing to publish it. Upon later realizing the claim was false, he expressed regret and sought to make peace.
However, the private apology didn’t stay private for long. Kwadwo Sheldon, instead of letting the matter remain behind closed doors, took a screenshot of Bongo’s message and made it public, sharing it across his social platforms.
The incident has stirred buzz online, with many users weighing in on the ethics of gossip blogging and the consequences of spreading unverified information.
