Lagos, Nigeria – Popular Nigerian radio personality and comedian, Chinedu Emmanuel, widely known as Nedu Wazobia, has announced his departure from The Honest Bunch Podcast following rising controversy involving social commentator Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman.
The controversy began when reality TV star Deeone, during an appearance on the podcast, alleged that Verydarkman had an interest in men. Rather than addressing the claim directly, Verydarkman shifted focus to Nedu, exposing private conversations and making allegations regarding the women the media personality had reportedly been involved with.
As public scrutiny intensified, Nedu took to Instagram on Friday to confirm his decision to step down from the show, citing personal reasons and the need to safeguard his peace of mind, family, and the integrity of the podcast.
Nedu’s Statement on His Exit
In his official statement, Nedu expressed appreciation for his journey with The Honest Bunch Podcast, acknowledging its role in fostering open and bold conversations. However, he admitted that the mounting scrutiny, antagonism, and allegations had taken a personal toll, making it necessary for him to step away.
He stated:
“The past week has brought a lot into perspective for me. Hosting The Honest Bunch Podcast has been an incredible journey—one built on open conversations, bold perspectives, and the willingness to tackle difficult topics. But with that responsibility has come an overwhelming level of scrutiny, antagonism, and unfounded accusations that have now begun to take a personal toll.
In light of recent events, I have made the difficult decision to step away from the podcast. This is not a decision I take lightly, but one I believe is necessary—for my peace of mind, for my family, and for the integrity of the show itself.
I sincerely hope this decision brings an end to the negativity surrounding my name and allows The Honest Bunch Podcast to continue thriving. I remain committed to fostering dialogue in ways that encourage meaningful engagement and growth, and I look forward to new opportunities that align with that vision.”
