Following the controversy that has trailed the Honest Bunch Podcast since its inception, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu Wazobia, has stepped down from hosting the podcast show.
In a statement on Friday, he said even though the decision was hard it has become necessary to protect the lives of his loved ones and family.
The controversy started when Big Brother Naija personality DeeOne alleged that Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman had an interest in men.
Verydarkman fired back instead at Nedu revealing private conversation where Nedu revealed that he allegedly had sexual intercourse with the women who comes to the show.
Additional, social influencer Saida Boj gave 24 hours ultimatum to Nedu to list the people whom she had an affair with as he rightly told Verydarkman.
In his statement, the Radio Personality wrote; “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 have always been committed to honest conversations, but when those conversations lead to relentless attacks and misrepresentation, it becomes clear that stepping back is the best path forward.
“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.
“I wish the show continued success and thank everyone who has supported me throughout this journey.”
