Bahavu emphasized that while Vestine has faced difficulties, he should not focus solely on the negative experiences but also acknowledge the positive aspects of their relationship.
Vestine's open letter, shared on social media on September 20, 2026, revealed the struggles he faced in his marriage, including how Idrissa allegedly approached him with false promises while he was still in school. Vestine also mentioned that he encountered problems in their marriage, such as Idrissa attempting to hinder his artistic career. Despite these challenges, Vestine expressed gratitude for God's continued support.

Bahavu also encouraged Vestine to write a letter to Idrissa, expressing his gratitude for the positive experiences they shared and seeking forgiveness for his shortcomings.
