Few days ago, Nedu quits Honest Bunch podcast amid controversy with VeryDarkMan.
His exit follows controversy surrounding a recent episode featuring comedian and reality TV star Deeone, who alleged that social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM) was attracted to men.
In response, VDM accused Nedu of persistently requesting his appearance on the podcast since 2024 and allegedly offering to buy him a car as an incentive.
He further claimed that Nedu had reached out multiple times, suggesting this was the reason behind the allegations made against him by Deeone.
In a statement released on Instagram on Friday, February 14 Nedu said his decision to step down was influenced by growing scrutiny and accusations, which he described as baseless. 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.”
