However, in a recent appearance on The Clarity Zone podcast aired on YouTube on July 3, 2026, Nedu Wazobia said the VDM issue was not the main reason for his exit.
The OAP revealed that the real problem was an ownership dispute with the handlers of The Honest Bunch, stating that it was his idea to start the show in the beginning.
“Many Nigerians thought I left because of what happened that last year but that wasn’t why I left. I started ‘Honest Bunch’, it wasn’t called the Honest Bunch. When I started the podcast, I was on radio. I needed an outlet where I could talk and say my mind.”
Nedu Wazobia also recalled how he met a former Cool FM staff member to pitch the idea, accompanied by his colleagues Chudy and Austin.
"So I went to a person that was running the place, he was a former staff of cool Fm. I called him, and we agreed to meet in a particular place. So the day I was going, the guy that was working with me then, Chudy I told him to come with me. And there is another guy, Austin. So we went there together. We sat down and told him ‘ This is my idea and this is what I want. He said, ‘Okay, how do we do it. I said ‘How it is going to work is you have a production house, the cameras, the team, my own is just to sit down and talk."
He said they agreed verbally to split proceeds equally, with the production team handling cameras and editing while he focused on hosting.
“I had the idea, and I said, ‘Okay, let’s do it 50/50.’ So we shook hands. Anything that comes in, I take 50% and you keep 50%. It was a gentleman’s agreement. That was where I made the mistake,” he explained.

The content creator added that he brought his people together to handle production and teasers, which were posted on the partner’s platform.
But during the controversy, the handlers told him they would suspend him from the show.
“They said something "Nedu, we are going to put out a statement that we are suspending you from the show." In my head, I was like, so what now? Show wey I get? You dey craze? You dey give landlord quick notice?” he recounted.
Nedu Wazobia said he later discovered through a CAC search that the podcast had been registered solely under the other party’s name.
“The next day, they searched CAC and found out that when the Honest Bunch was being registered, they registered it as 100% their product. I didn’t want to leave. I was going to wait for it to die down, but when I saw that it was 100% their product, I’m like no. Na him be say I no fit.”
