I sat down with Apollo Nida, the husband of savvy businesswoman,
Phaedra Parks. On the show Apollo is cool and calm but don’t get it twisted
because when necessary… he has no problem with telling you how he feels.
We got a good glimpse of Apollo expressing himself this
season when he and Phaedra consulted with former Miss U.S.A- Kenya Moore. As we
all know Kenya listened to the couple’s idea of creating a workout video. She then
went and secured a distribution deal for the concept, and when they didn’t
agree on giving her 10% of all proceeds- she stole their idea.
Apollo called Kenya, “A bitter.” And from there the
conversation became even more heated. The three part Reunion show is complete
and we have learned a lot about the cast and how they feel about each other. Kenya
started in on Phaedra in the first part by dubbing her with the nickname,
“Shady Pha-Pha.” Earlier in the season Phaedra said you can’t turn a whore into
a house wife- that’s her statement and she stuck to it during the reunion.
Kenya also accused Apollo of sending her inappropriate text
messages. Andy Cohen dismissed this claim when he viewed Kenya’s phone and saw
that the messages were not inappropriate.
I got a first-hand opportunity to ask him about all the
drama. While talking to him he dispelled many misconceptions and made his
undying love for his wife and children… crystal clear.
See what Apollo
had to say below:
On Apollo
the man: “I
try to stay humble, high spirited, and focused. I try not to get distracted by
the negativity that comes with the territory.”
On his
reaction to him and Phaedra splitting rumors: “I don’t know where that came from. When we found out we
were at Peter’s spot and I was like I don’t know where that came from. We’re
progressing, and we’re having another baby.”
On
spending time in prison: "I gained a sense of awareness. Prior to prison I knew myself but I
really didn’t. When you’re confined it brings out a whole other animal in you.
Its preservation, you’re grasping at anything. But for me it was more so
spirituality. I studied three different religions- Islam, Buddhism, and
Christianity. I think being grounded spiritually will get you through any
situation."
On what
he wants his legacy to be: “Just that I overcame the odds and many, many obstacles and
became a good man and a good person. At
the end of the day I want to be a good man, father, and husband. I want to be
the father I didn’t have. I want to also be that role model for young
individuals or even grown men. So when I pass I want people to know I was a
good man and a good person. I really overcame and worked hard to combat all of
the negative things people said about me. People say you don’t have anything to
prove but Apollo Nida had something to prove to the world. I have something to
prove to myself.”
