SOCA STAR Machel Montano has moved to clear the air after his comments at the Stink N Dutty fete on February 22 sparked a brief social media spat with rapper Nicki Minaj.

What initially appeared to be a public fallout has now been described as a simple misunderstanding by Montano.

In an interview with OvertimeTT after another event, Montano offered a heartfelt apology to the Trinidad-born rapper, with whom he had previously collaborated.
