Popular controversial on-air personality and host of the Honest Bunch podcast, Nedu Wazobia, has announced his exit from the show.

The Nigerian Voice recalls that Nedu’s decision follows criticism from self-acclaimed activist VeryDarkMan, who called out Nedu for hosting ex-Big Brother Housemate Deeone on the podcast. During the episode, Deeone alleged that VeryDarkMan is gay.

In a post on his Instagram page in the early hours of today, Nedu stated that the past week has brought a lot into perspective for him. He noted that hosting The Honest Bunch Podcast has been an incredible journey—one built on open conversations, bold perspectives, and the willingness to tackle difficult topics.

However, he revealed that with that responsibility has come an overwhelming level of scrutiny, antagonism, and unfounded accusations that have now begun to take a personal toll.

Furthermore, he explained that due to recent events, he has made the difficult decision to step away from the podcast. He noted that this is not a decision he takes lightly but one he believes is necessary—for his peace of mind, for his family, and for the integrity of the show itself.

Nedu’s statement reads:
"Official Statement from Nedu Wazobia
"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."
