Daniel Duncan-Williams has issued an apology to his father, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, after he slandered his name during numerous Instagram live videos last week.
According to him, all the statements he made in the videos are false, adding that the general Overseer of the Action Chapel is the best father he could ever wish for.
“Thank you for loving me even through all the trials and tribulations,” Daniel wrote.
Dear daddy @ArchbishopNick i would to
— Dee Wills (@Deewillslive) June 18, 2020
Humbly apologize for the false accusations... You are the best father anyone could ever wish for. Thank you for loving me even through all the trials and tribulations.
Early June, the young rapper who goes by the career name Dee Wills, among other allegations made against his family, said his father was not in support of his rap career and has therefore cut him off.
He said the videos were his way of staying true to himself and connecting with his fans. He also accused his father of causing his arrested and jailing.
Daniel also took to his twitter handle to share some nude videos of himself and some other ladies.
Reacting to this, the Archbishop released a statement through his spokesperson, Bishop Ebenezer Obodai, saying while the family acknowledges that “the obscenities are abhorrent” people must “understand that he (Daniel) has a serious illness”.
He revealed his son was suffering from acute bipolar disorder and subsequently sent the police to check on Daniel during the "meltdown".
The family urged Ghanaians and people to support them in prayers whiles they continue to seek medical help for him.
“The Archbishop says “this is a test of his faith. In his own words; “I acknowledge the situation my son is in, and I still love him…please pray for us…. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8.
The family is, therefore, urging Ghanaians and people to support them in prayers whiles they continue to seek medical help for him.

Mental Health: Toll, Tragedies and Hope
The significance of psychological health has become very personal to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and his family. Six years ago, Archbishop’s son, Daniel Duncan-Williams, was diagnosed with acute bipolar disease. Through the family, Daniel has undergone the very best medical interventions, treatments and hospitalizations, yet he still experiences relapses when he does not continue on his prescribed medication.
His outbursts on social media and elsewhere should not be media fodder or click-bait; We acknowledge that the obscenities are abhorrent but understand that he has a serious illness. Daniel is not of himself and he has never been in prison.
Historically, many mega pastors have all had to deal with their personal family challenges in the public eye and in this same vein, we also ask you to separate “who a person is from their mistakes”. We love Daniel, and we believe God’s mercy turns what was meant for evil to good, for them that love the lord and are called according to his purpose. Daniel also continues to be covered and supported spiritually with intense and consistent prayers.
The Archbishop has prayed all over the world for nations, leaders, pastors, families, mothers and lay people and at this time, he asks that you join in prayer for Danny and the family. We are believing, with God on our side, that Daniel will come out of this stronger and with a testimony to the glory of God.
The Archbishop says “this is a test of his faith. In his own words; “I acknowledge the situation my son is in, and I still love him…please pray for us…. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
The Archbishop and his family continue to stand firm in their faith believing God for Daniel’s full deliverance, healing and restoration. We ask that you please respect their privacy as they navigate through this trying time.
Psalms 3:3. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Signed:
Bishop Ebenezer Obodai
Spokesperson for Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and family
