Actor and media personality Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu, has spoken out to dispel rumors that he harbors negative feelings towards women. These speculations gained traction after actress Yvonne Jegede insinuated that Nedu dislikes women, following an incident where he criticized her for issuing a public apology regarding comments she made on a recent episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast.
Nedu addressed the matter directly in a video message shared on his Instagram page. He explained, “In past episodes [of The Honest Bunch podcast], I must have said some things that upset a few people that has led to some of you saying I hate women. I don’t hate women. I don’t. My manager is a woman, I’ve got three beautiful daughters, and pretty much everyone around me is a woman. So I don’t know where all that thinking is coming from.”

Nedu’s comments came after Yvonne Jegede publicly called him out, alleging that he had been unfairly critical of her. This accusation arose after she made an apology for certain remarks during ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast. Jegede’s claims that Nedu harbors a bias against women were met with a firm response from his management team.

This clarification from Nedu aims to put to rest the controversy and reaffirm his stance on gender relations. He highlighted the positive relationships he maintains with women in both his personal and professional life, reinforcing that his criticisms were never rooted in gender bias.
