Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O Kanayo has unfollowed Yul Edochie on Instagram after a recent clash over Edochie’s controversial marriage to Judy Austin. The online rift between the two stars erupted when Kanayo hosted Yul’s elder brother, Linc Edochie, on his podcast, where Linc suggested Yul keep his marriage issues off social media.
Yul reacted strongly to the interview, lashing out at both his brother and Kanayo in a now-viral Instagram post, calling Kanayo “stupid.” The unexpected outburst triggered fans to flood Kanayo’s social media, alerting him to the insults. Rather than engaging in a public exchange, Kanayo responded quietly by unfollowing Yul, signaling a possible end to their once-respected rapport.
The drama unfolded as Kanayo, known for his professionalism and dignity in Nollywood, sought to bring clarity on a topic that has been the subject of much public debate. Yul’s marriage to Judy Austin, which he announced abruptly on social media, has drawn mixed reactions and intense scrutiny. Kanayo’s unfollowing move has added another layer to the saga, as fans and industry watchers alike are left to wonder about the potential fallout.
The clash has highlighted the tensions within the Edochie family, as well as Kanayo’s commitment to maintaining a respectful image. Meanwhile, Linc’s advice and Kanayo’s response have gained wide support from fans who share concerns over the public handling of Yul’s private affairs.
