Nedu Wazobia Steps Down from Honest Brunch Podcast Amid Controversy

Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, better known as Nedu Wazobia, a Nigerian radio host, has decided to leave his role on the Honest Brunch Podcast due to a recent feud with social media personality, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.

The conflict escalated when Nedu invited Deeone onto the podcast, where Deeone accused VeryDarkMan of engaging in relationships with men and receiving payment for sexual encounters.

In response, VeryDarkMan contested this on social media, alleging that Nedu intentionally invited Deeone as part of a plot against him. He revealed private details that he claims Nedu had confided in him, including accusations about Nedu’s past relationships.

Some of the women mentioned in these allegations quickly released videos denying any romantic connection with Nedu, asserting that their interactions were strictly professional.

Amidst the backlash, Nedu made the choice to leave the podcast to focus on his mental well-being, his family, and to preserve the show’s reputation.

He released a statement via his social media, explaining his decision:

”Official Statement from Nedu Wazobia

This past week has provided a lot of insight for me. Being a host on The Honest Bunch Podcast has been a remarkable experience—rooted in candid discussions, daring viewpoints, and addressing tough issues. However, this responsibility has brought with it harsh scrutiny, hostility, and baseless accusations that have recently affected my personal life.

Considering the recent developments, I find it necessary to step back from the podcast. It’s a difficult choice, but one I believe is essential for my peace, my family, and the podcast’s integrity. I have always been dedicated to honest dialogue, but when that leads to constant assaults and misrepresentation, it is clear that a pause is the best option.

I genuinely hope that this decision puts an end to the negativity surrounding my name and allows The Honest Bunch Podcast to thrive. I remain dedicated to fostering discussions that enable engaging and constructive exchanges, and I look forward to exploring new opportunities that resonate with that vision.

I wish the podcast continued success and am grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey.
