Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede is known for minding her business and staying in her lane. But on the 10th of June 2024, the single mother fell on the chopping board of social media warriors after she made some rather controversial remarks about Yul Edochie’s choice to pursue polygamy, with or without the support of his legally wedded wife, May Edochie.
The drama displayed after she joined the Honest Bunch on their popular Podcast. The 40-year-old actress, famous for her recent role in Adire, questioned why Nigerians were cursing and criticising Yul Edochie’s choice. Yvonne didn’t stop here; she also compared Yul Edochie to Ned Nwoko, a serial polygamist and husband to young Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
As you must have guessed, the actress’s opinion didn’t go down well with fans of Queen May, who do not tolerate any slander. But as the saying goes, social media is not for the faint-hearted, and a few hours later, Yvonne Jegede bowed to pressure and apologised to the Queen. But this has only escalated the matter. At the time of scripting, we were looking for water to quench the blazing fire, which begs the question, is joining a podcast the easiest way to get into trouble these days? But before you answer, let’s quickly go over the full gist.
