"I am not innocent, but I would like to clarify a few things. About a year ago, we had a physical altercation where we both got hurt and on that day, I immediately took her to the hospital at Aga Khan.

"I take full responsibility for that moment of weakness. One of the pictures she posted is from that incident," he addressed.

J Blessing further disclosed that the two argued on Tuesday night, November 15, but did not escalate into a physical assault as she had claimed.

"I want to assure everyone that I did not beat her. I am not an abuser, and I do not support violence. I am a human being who has made mistakes in my life," he added.

The music director further revealed that he and Avril agreed that it was best if the two kept off each other to prevent future similar incidents.

Earlier, Avril released a statement via her Instagram stories, giving clarity on the matter after she expressed her dismay over the public's reactions to domestic violence coming right after she shared the photos of her bruised face, which went viral on social media.

"I have always been an extremely private person I would never talk about anything I'm going through even if I'm being tortured by it.

"My heart was so heavy that I had to tell the world about my business. Yes I saw the ridicule about me deserving of everything I have been through in my lifetime and I'm sure there will be more ridicule, but I also saw the outpouring messages of love and support," she revealed.

Stating that she has since forgiven J Blessing, she added "I forgive you J, please find it in your hearts to forgive him too. Everyone is deserving of forgiveness in this life."

The singer also shared insights regarding their seven-year relationship as well as their journey as parents which has been mired with challenges, some that have led to conflicts that have escalated into fights.

"We recognize the need for change and are committed to seeking help and learning healthier ways to communicate and resolve issues. Our mutual goal is to create a more positive and supportive environment for each other, fostering understanding and growth," she went on.

Avril however dismissed the entire saga as clout, saying she would not be one to joke about a vice that affects so many men and women worldwide. She also denied that she was using the saga to look for sympathy.
