So­ca star Machel Mon­tano has apol­o­gised to rap­per, singer and song­writer Nic­ki Mi­naj for what he deems “a mis­take mis­un­der­stand­ing on his part” for com­ments made at the Stink N Dut­ty fete.

He ex­plained in a video post­ed on so­cial me­dia, “In the fete, I was just com­pelled to sing the Good Spir­it song and as soon as I start­ed to sing the Good Spir­it song, it start­ed to res­onate deep with­in me es­pe­cial­ly when I said the line “don’t fight me down” – the re­sponse from the au­di­ence was so over­whelm­ing that I felt the joy of the full blown crew who had been writ­ing these songs for me for so many years and that song be­ing the feel­ing of sup­port for a young up­com­ing artiste.”

Mon­tano says “it didn’t come out the way it was sup­posed to come out.” For fans and Mi­naj alike, it ap­peared Mon­tano was ac­cus­ing her and Trinidad Kil­la of fight­ing him down.
