Controversial Nigerian media personality and actor, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu, has revealed how speculations that he is a misogynist made him lose a multi-million naira endorsement deal.
The comedian disclosed this on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch audiovisual podcast co-hosted by him, Husband Material, and Deity Cole.
According to him, the reason he had lost it is because people are flying the narrative that he hates women.
The brand, which he said was a beverage company, explained to him that the reason he wouldn’t be given the deal anymore was because this image of being a misogynist would affect their brand as it wouldn’t be appealing to their female audience.
He went on to say that he doesn’t hate women as many are led to believe. Nedu noted how people like his character in his comedy skits because of his love for women, but would turn back to still slam him as a woman hater.
He said::“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.
“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.”
Nedu berated what he described as the double standard of those who accused him of liking women too much in his skits but turned around to say he spread hate against women in his podcast.
