Popular on-air personality (OAP) Nedu has spoken out about his departure from the Honest Bunch Podcast, clarifying that he was not fired but chose to step down amid personal attacks and controversies surrounding the show.

The radio host resigned from the podcast on February 14, following backlash over allegations made during an episode featuring comedian and reality star DeeOne.

During the episode, DeeOne alleged that social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM) had intimate relationships with men, triggering heated exchanges online.

VDM later accused Nedu of orchestrating the claims, leaking private conversations, and engaging in sexual exploitation, alleging that the OAP had pried into his personal affairs.

Addressing the controversy, Nedu initially said he made the “difficult decision” to leave the podcast to protect his peace of mind, family, and the integrity of the show. However, speculation surfaced that his departure was forced, prompting him to set the record straight during a press conference on Thursday.

“I was not fired from the Honest Bunch. When the attacks became very personal, I decided to step away so that the show could go on,” Nedu stated.

The OAP explained that his role on the show was to ask tough questions and spark critical conversations, which sometimes led to controversial takes.

“For me, any conversation that surrounds you has to stop the guest from saying some things that are not professional. I do not do that. If you are a radio or TV host, you will understand that.

“Another thing I need to say is you cannot use my relationship to force me to shut down what any guest is saying on the show. Everyone has the right to air their opinion on the show. Everyone has the right to rebuttal. You can come to the show or any other social media platform to do it.

“A lot of things have been going on. I do not want to indulge in a petty exchange of words. It is not my style to drag words with people on social media.

“My job on the show was to ask the hard questions. I was to play the devil’s advocate. It was also my job to make statements you can think of but cannot say.

“And it has encouraged hard conversations people do not want to have. It is very sad.”
