Popular Nigerian radio personality Chinedu Emmanuel, aka Nedu Wazobia, has announced his decision to step down from ‘The Honest Bunch Podcast’ following an escalating controversy involving social commentator Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The controversy erupted after reality star Deeone appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast and alleged that VeryDarkMan had an interest in men. Rather than directly addressing the claim, VDM shifted his focus to Nedu, revealing private conversations and making allegations about the women the OAP had allegedly been involved with.
Nedu’s Official Statement
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Nedu announced his departure, citing the need to protect his peace of mind, family, and the integrity of the show.
“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.
“I sincerely hope this decision brings an end to the negativity surrounding my name and allows The Honest Bunch Podcast to continue thriving.”
