“I was misled” – Iranzi apologises to Sherrie Silver Foundation after fallout

In a statement released on Thursday, Iranzi admitted that he acted out of anger and immaturity, saying he now regrets his earlier public remarks about the Foundation.

“I apologise to the Sherrie Silver Foundation for the interview that misrepresented me. I was immature, I acted hastily,” he said.

The apology comes a day after the Sherrie Silver Foundation confirmed that it had parted ways with Iranzi effective May 2, 2026, citing a mismatch in values despite efforts from both sides to resolve internal disagreements.

In earlier statements, the Foundation and its founder, Sherrie Silver, said their core mission remains grounded in “education, discipline and integrity,” and confirmed it would no longer represent or be responsible for Iranzi’s actions or public views going forward.

“They helped me and cared for my family”

In his latest message, Iranzi expressed appreciation for the Foundation’s support during his time under its care, saying he holds no resentment toward its leadership.

“I have no issues with Sherrie; they helped me, cared for my family, made you know me, you love me,” he said.

He added that he had failed to understand the advice given to him at the time, but now recognises its value.

“I did not understand the advice they gave, but the time came when I realised I should listen to the advice of elders because I am still young,” he noted, adding that he was “misled by anger and bad friends.”

Iranzi also appealed for the removal of online content related to his earlier comments about the Foundation, saying some of the material contained “mistakes and wrongdoing.”

He further called on individuals who could assist in reconciling him with the Foundation’s founder, Sherrie Silver, to step in and help rebuild the relationship.

“I also ask those who can help me reconcile with my mother, Sherrie, to assist me,” he said.

Focus on education and discipline

The young artist also signalled a shift in priorities, saying he intends to focus more on his studies in line with the Foundation’s long-standing emphasis on education.

“I must love school, listen, and put music aside to focus on studying, as the Foundation always asks us. I do not engage in any bad behaviour,” he said.
“Hear me, I am yours. Pray for Sherrie for forgiveness.”

Iranzi, who released his first song titled “Basalee” a few days ago, had previously told the media that his exit was influenced by frustrations over limited creative freedom. He claimed that some of his music projects were not released and that he felt restricted in his growth as an artist.

He also said that tensions increased when he was enrolled in a boarding school in Musanze, even as he was already working on music projects, which he interpreted as limiting his ability to fully pursue his artistic development.
