Asking that my name be removed from your biography is not sabotaging your career. It is about protecting my boundaries of what I consider acceptable in civil human behaviour.

You publicly call me a murderer AND still feel entitled to benefit from my name?

You use my name (without my permission) to sell your book AND then throw an ugly tantrum when someone makes a reference to it?

What kind of monstrous entitlement, what kind of perverse self-absorption, what utter lack of self-awareness, what unheeding heartlessness, what frightening immaturity makes a person act this way?

Besides, a person who genuinely believes me to be a murderer cannot possibly want my name on their book cover, unless of course that person is a rank opportunist.

Dangane da haka, Emezi ya wallafa wani bidiyo a shafinta na Instagram, yana mai cewa a wani bangare:   Ba a san kwafi nawa ne na littafin da aka amso, haka kuma ba a san adadin nawa aka sake fitar da su ba bayan an sauya musu bango ba.
