Teddy Afro said on his official Facebook page that his interview to Enqu magazine in relation to the memorial marking the 100th year since the death of Menelik II was misquoted.
His response came after social media controversy after Bedele Beer announced that it will sponsor the national tour of the pop star Tewodros Kassahun (Teddy Afro).

To lovers of my music;
A few weeks ago I gave an interview to Enqu magazine in relation to the memorial marking the 100th year since the death of Menelik II.
I know that this interview was presented to the public under the title “Ametatun yaye akahedun yawkal.” However, under circumstances unbeknownst to me and due to the error of the magazine, my photo was printed along side a different quote which is not in line with my belief or journey.
As proof of this, one can refer to my message contained in the article titled “Ametatun yaye akahedun yawkal,” in the magazine article. The magazine has issued a correction and apologized to us for its error.
As my journey is one of love, unity and closeness/togetherness, we will handle this issue with the same emotion/ principle/sentiment.
Love will triumph”
Tewodros Kassahun.
