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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI apologise to the Sherrie Silver Foundation for the interview that misrepresented me. I was immature, I acted hastily,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In earlier statements, the Foundation and its founder, Sherrie Silver, said their core mission remains grounded in \u201ceducation, discipline and integrity,\u201d and confirmed it would no longer represent or be responsible for Iranzi\u2019s actions or public views going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey helped me and cared for my family\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his latest message, Iranzi expressed appreciation for the Foundation\u2019s support during his time under its care, saying he holds no resentment toward its leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have no issues with Sherrie; they helped me, cared for my family, made you know me, you love me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that he had failed to understand the advice given to him at the time, but now recognises its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d he noted, adding that he was \u201cmisled by anger and bad friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iranzi also appealed for the removal of online content related to his earlier comments about the Foundation, saying some of the material contained \u201cmistakes and wrongdoing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further called on individuals who could assist in reconciling him with the Foundation\u2019s founder, Sherrie Silver, to step in and help rebuild the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also ask those who can help me reconcile with my mother, Sherrie, to assist me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on education and discipline<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young artist also signalled a shift in priorities, saying he intends to focus more on his studies in line with the Foundation\u2019s long-standing emphasis on education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d he said.
\u201cHear me, I am yours. Pray for Sherrie for forgiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iranzi, who released his first song titled \u201cBasalee\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
