Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, a controversial Nigerian media personality and actor known as Nedu, recently shared how accusations of misogyny led him to lose a lucrative endorsement deal worth millions of naira. During the latest episode of The Honest Bunch audiovisual podcast, which he co-hosts with Husband Material and Deity Cole, Nedu revealed the incident.
He expressed that although he didn’t feel upset about losing the deal, he lost it because many people spread the narrative that he harbored animosity towards women. The endorsement was from a beverage brand, and they decided not to proceed due to concerns about the negative perception associated with Nedu and their female audience.
Nedu criticized the double standards of those who accused him of portraying excessive fondness for women in his skits but then claimed he spread hatred against women on his podcast.
