In response to recent remarks by actress Yvonne Jegede regarding her public apology, media personality Nedu Wazobia has refuted claims that he ‘hates women.’
On June 13, 2024, Nedu addressed the backlash he received over comments made on his show, The Honest Bunch Podcast, through a video posted on his Instagram. After being labeled ‘small-minded’ and toxic by Jegede, Nedu debunked the notion that he harbors hatred towards women.
He stated, “In past episodes, I may have said some things that riled up some people and made you think that I hate women. I don’t hate women. My manager is a woman, I’ve got three beautiful daughters, and pretty much everyone around me is a woman, so I don’t know where that thinking is coming from.”
Nedu emphasized that the purpose of his podcast is to create an environment where guests feel free to be honest and transparent.
He added, “I hear some of the conversations you people have. I don’t hate women. If you’re watching my podcast, please watch with an open mind and understand that you are watching a podcast called The Honest Bunch that aims to be as honest as possible, no matter how uncomfortable the truth may be. The truth needs to be said.”
This response follows a dispute with Jegede after her appearance on the show, where she defended Yul Edochie’s decision to embrace polygamy and take a second wife. Following the backlash, she apologized to Edochie’s ex-wife, May, for trivializing her pain.
Subsequently, Nedu posted a cryptic message on Instagram saying, “If you talk, use your chest to stand by your words. Still, Number 1.” Jegede responded with a lengthy post on Instagram, calling him out the same day.
