“A Difficult Decision” – OAP Nedu Bows Out Amid Controversy
Popular On-Air Personality Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, better known as Nedu, has officially stepped down from hosting The Honest Bunch Podcast following recent allegations surrounding his name.
The move comes after social media critic Martins Ortse, aka VeryDarkMan, accused him of demanding sex-for-roles from a female content creator, Jojo.
