Nigerian media personality and actor, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu, recently opened up about the unfortunate incident that led to the loss of an endorsement deal, due to false accusations claiming that he harbors a disdain for women.
Nedu made this shocking revelation during the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, where he addressed the matter with candor and transparency.
Sharing the disheartening news, Nedu disclosed that the endorsement deal slipped through his fingers a mere three weeks ago.
However, he emphasized that he did not allow himself to be consumed by sadness or disappointment over the ordeal.
During the podcast, Nedu recounted the reason behind the loss of the endorsement deal, stating, “I almost signed an endorsement three weeks ago and I lost it. I’m not feeling bad. I didn’t feel bad for a second but I lost it.”
He further explained, “Why did I lose it? Because a lot of people were flying with the narrative, ‘Nedu hates women.’ And it’s a beverage brand. The brand said, ‘If this is what people are saying, it means it is not going to go well with our female audience.'”
Expressing his frustration, Nedu condemned the hypocrisy and double standards exhibited by those who accused him of objectifying women in his skits while simultaneously accusing him of spreading hatred against women through his podcast.
