Nigerian media personality Chinedu Ani, popularly known as Nedu Wazobia, has officially announced his departure from The Honest Bunch Podcast.
Nedu made this known through a press statement released on his social media, where he declared that he would no longer be part of the show.
The situation began after online critic Vincent Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), made serious allegations about Nedu following an episode featuring ex-BBNaija star and comedian Deeone.
VDM claimed that Nedu had shared confidential details about past guests on The Honest Bunch Podcast, including allegations that he had provided certain guests with better opportunities in exchange for favors.
VDM proceeded to publicly reveal names and share photos of individuals allegedly involved.
In response to the controversy, Nedu took to his official Instagram page to announce his departure, citing personal and professional reasons for his decision.
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 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.”
Following his announcement, there have been several reactions on social media. While some fans expressed disappointment at his exit, others believe it was the right move given the allegations.
