VDM: Nedu Wazobia steps down from The Honest Bunch podcast

Following the ongoing crisis with social media activist, VeryDarkMan (VDM), Nigerian radio personality, Chinedu Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu Wazobia has stepped down from The Honest Bunch Podcast.

The development was made public in a statement by the OAP, where he stated that his reason for giving up his position was to protect his peace of mind, family, and the integrity of the show.

In his official statement which he shared on Instagram on Friday, Nedu wrote, “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.”
