Nigerian media personality Chinedu Ani aka Nedu Wazobia has quit the Honest Bunch Podcast show.

The public figure took Nigerians by surprise when he released a press statement on social media stating that he would no longer be a part of the show.

It all started after online critic Vincent Martins Otse aka VeryDarkMan made messy claims about Nedu after he invited ex-BBNaija star and comedian, Deeone, to speak on the podcast.

VeryDarkMan claimed that Nedu had told him a lot of secrets about the people who had graced his show in the past, including those he had slept with to give them better opportunities, and the online critic started to spill their names with photos.

Shortly after VDM named names and shared photos, Nedu released a statement on his official Instagram page stating that he had decided to step away from the Honest Bunch Podcast because it had become necessary.

Nedu wrote in part:

“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.”
