Linc Edochie’s New Wife Sparks Drama After Marriage, Blows Hot on Trolls: “Trouble in Paradise”

• Yinka Edochie took to Instagram to slam Nigerians trolling her after her low-key marriage to Nollywood actor, Linc Edochie
• While some netizens sympathised with her, others accused her of chasing clout and seeking unnecessary attention just weeks into the marriage
• Social media users warned that Linc’s marriage might be heading down the same controversial path as his brother Yul’s, urging Yinka to focus on her marriage

Drama seems to be brewing already in the Edochie household, as Linc Edochie’s newly wedded wife, Yinka, has gone viral after tackling online trolls who came at her following their wedding.

The former Nollywood actor and son of veteran actor Pete Edochie reportedly tied the knot with Yinka in a low-key private ceremony held in May 2025. However, the public reaction since the announcement hasn’t been all rosy.

Yinka took to her Instagram page on Monday morning, June 2, to express her frustration at the online heat she's been receiving.

In her words:

“You all came for me in droves! Harassing me and bullying me about where or who I can make comments about! Please come back again!”

Her post, which appeared to be directed at Nigerians criticising her for her online activity, didn’t sit well with many netizens, some of whom felt her outburst was unnecessary.

Netizens react to Yinka’s outburst:

A section of social media users accused her of attempting to stir up controversy in a bid to gain relevance, drawing comparisons to Judy Austin, the second wife of Yul Edochie, who has also been heavily criticised for her role in the actor’s messy family drama.

@tracy_fins:

“Wahala. Why’s it so difficult for people to ignore things? First of all, you’re supposed to be in your honeymoon phase; why are you checking and worried about comments on social media? Na wa o.”

Linc Edochie reconciles with Yul Edochie

Legit.ng reported in March that Yul Edochie and his elder brother, Linc Edochie, have finally reconciled after months of falling out with each other.

Recall that in November 2024, Linc Edochie appeared on Kanayo O. Kanayo’s podcast, where he spoke about Yul incessantly showing off his second wife, Judy Austin, online.

However, the brothers now seem to have let go of their differences, going by Yul’s latest social media post.
