Yvonne Jegede Blasts Nedu Amidst Ongoing Drama, Reveals Messages He Sent Her

Last week, OAP Nedu was the subject of national conversation after he announced that he would be stepping down as one of the hosts of the popular online podcast, The Honest Bunch. The decision came after Nedu had been dragged continuously by social critic VeryDarkMan.

For those who don't know, the ordeal happened after Nedu invited Big Brother reality star Deeone to the show where the BBN star went on claim that VDM was into men and had allegedly collected money from men for sex.

Reacting to the allegation, VeryDarkMan called out Nedu on his page, claiming the media personality invited Deeone to the show on purpose to criticize him. VDM then went on to say that he was going to spill several secrets that Nedu had allegedly told him in confidence, including the women he had allegedly slept with.

Naturally, internet people started throwing out names of several women that have been linked to Nedu and now one of such women's names that have been thrown out once or twice because of her appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast is now speaking out and has very unfavorable things to say about her time on the podcast, and about the nature of Nedu himself.

The woman in question is Yvonne Jegede and taking to social media to speak on Nedu, Yvonne Jegede wrote saying:

YVONNE JEGEDE: In the past few days, my name has been mentioned in the ongoing saga involving The Honest Bunch Podcast, its lead host, Nedu, and other individuals. The drama especially on Facebook, where I have a sizeable following has been ridiculous, sometimes hilarious, but most importantly, it calls for deep introspection.

I would like to state clearly that I appreciate being left out of this entire situation, as I have long moved on from my past unpleasant experience with The Honest Bunch Podcast.

The clips cut from my episode on that show for promotional purposes were designed to attract trolls, and my brand was subjected to all sorts of dragging. While this was happening, Nedu, who was in my WhatsApp messages asking me out, was simultaneously posting materials that further fueled the negative attacks on me. Even people flooded my son’s social media page cursing and swearing at him, I had to take his page down.

The worst part was people claiming, based on a press release from The Honest Bunch Podcast, that I must have paid for my interview feature. That is totally untrue. I could not have paid to appear on a show for a movie I neither produced nor owned. The twisting of the narrative further made me dislike people who are dishonest or who try to paint yellow as black.

At the time, I was livid, angry, and bitter. However, with time and the support of quality people around me, I chose to let go and sincerely, wholeheartedly forgave both Nedu and the show.

I have received calls asking me to speak out or troll him now that he is supposedly down. My response remains the same, I will not. The best time to kick a man is certainly not when he is down. I have forgiven him and genuinely wish him nothing but the best. More importantly, I hope he learns from this experience and realizes that we gain nothing; not even YouTube views by bringing others down.

Please, I kindly request that my name not be dragged into this drama. I have learned valuable lessons from my experience, especially regarding dealing with people, and that is the long and short of my submission.
