Nollywood star Yul Edochie has publicly called out his elder brother, Linc Edochie, in response to advice Linc gave him on handling his marital issues with discretion. Yul, who has faced intense media scrutiny since his decision to marry actress Judy Austin as a second wife, reacted to his brother’s comments made during a recent appearance on the K.O.K Live podcast, hosted by veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo.
Linc, addressing his brother’s controversy, shared that he had advised Yul to avoid flaunting his relationship with Judy Austin on social media, suggesting that a more private approach could ease the public tension surrounding his marriage. The advice came after Yul’s first wife, May Edochie, filed for divorce, creating a rift within the family and igniting widespread online debates.
In a fiery response on Instagram, Yul Edochie mocked his brother, pointing out that despite Linc keeping his own marriage private, he still ended up divorced. Yul accused Linc of being hypocritical and suggested that people should focus on fixing their own lives rather than offering unsolicited advice.
Yul’s post read: “Ndi ‘keep your marriage off social media’ kwenu! You who hid your marriage indoors, did it stop you from getting divorced? Your wife still left you, right? Everyone on social media is an adviser. Your own life is in shambles, but you can advise others. If I post my wife a million times, how does it affect you? Did you buy me data or is it your wife I’m posting?”
The online exchange between the Edochie brothers has sparked further conversations, with fans and followers taking sides in the debate over public and private lives. Yul’s defiant stance reflects his decision to live his life unapologetically in the public eye, despite the backlash.
