The Nigerian entertainment scene has been buzzing with the recent fracas between popular podcaster Nedu and actress Yvonne Jegede. The controversy began when Jegede appeared on Nedu's podcast and made a bold statement supporting actor Yul Edochie's decision to leave his first wife, May Edochie, and pursue a polygamous lifestyle. This caused a stir as Yvonne and May are known to be friends.
During the podcast, Jegede also disclosed that she once kept malice with her husband for three months while living in the same house because he was jealous of her earning more money. This revelation, coupled with her endorsement of Yul Edochie's polygamy, did not sit well with Nigerians. The backlash was swift, leading Yvonne Jegede to apologize to May Edochie and her fans, claiming her comments were misunderstood.

Adding fuel to the fire, Nedu posted a cryptic message saying, "If you talk, stand by your words," which Jegede perceived as an attack.

She responded by calling Nedu a misogynist, narcissistic, toxic, broke, and slow. Nedu and his management quickly issued an official statement, clarifying that Yvonne Jegede had paid to appear on the show to promote her new movie, and warned her to stop defaming them or face legal action.
