Nigerian media personality Nedu Wazobia has stepped down as the host of the popular podcast The Honest Bunch following allegations of demanding sex for movie roles. His resignation, announced via Instagram on February 14, 2025, comes amid increasing controversy and backlash.
In his statement, Nedu expressed that hosting The Honest Bunch had been an incredible experience, allowing for bold and open conversations. However, he admitted that the scrutiny and unfounded accusations had become overwhelming, leading him to make the difficult decision to step away.
He emphasized that his resignation was not just for his peace of mind but also to protect the integrity of the podcast. He hopes that by stepping down, the show will continue without the negativity surrounding his name.
His decision follows allegations made by social media critic Martins Ortse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, who accused Nedu of soliciting sex in exchange for movie roles. The claim surfaced amid an ongoing feud between VeryDarkMan and stand-up comedian Deeone, who had previously appeared on The Honest Bunch and alleged that VeryDarkMan was gay. In response, VeryDarkMan threatened to expose celebrities Nedu had allegedly slept with in exchange for roles.
With Nedu’s departure, the future of The Honest Bunch remains uncertain, as fans and industry insiders react to the unfolding controversy.
