Afrobeats singer Orezi, real name Esegine Allen, has declared he will sever ties with any friend who supports Lindsay Clancy, the American woman who admitted to killing her three children. In an Instagram Story posted to his account @oreziworldwide, Orezi stated that anyone backing Clancy "in any type of way" would no longer be considered a friend, adding, "Your reasoning is impaired and I can't deal with such." He warned that such a disagreement would lead to a fight, saying, "Na fight we go fight."
Clancy, a 36-year-old former labour and delivery nurse, admitted to strangling her children—Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months—with exercise bands in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on January 24, 2023. She also attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and neck and jumping from a second-floor window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her trial, which began in late July 2026, ended in a mistrial after nearly 40 hours of jury deliberations, with the panel deadlocked. Judge William Sullivan declared the mistrial on Friday, with reports indicating the jury was split 11-1 in favor of finding her not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. Clancy remains at a state psychiatric hospital, with a status hearing set for September 29 to determine if prosecutors will retry the case.
Orezi draws a firm line on moral judgment while offering no room for discussion on mental health complexities tied to Clancy's actions. His stance reflects a personal boundary, but it sidelines the legal and medical questions the trial has left unresolved for those following the case.
