Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie has finally broken his silence regarding recent social media claims made by his wife Judy Austin’s ex-husband, Emmanuel Obasi, over access to his children.
Taking to his official social media platforms, the controversial actor cleared the air, shutting down allegations that he is blocking Obasi from seeing his biological kids.
According to Edochie, his decision to speak out came after numerous fans flooded his direct messages, urging him to intervene and allow the children’s father access.
“It Has Nothing to Do With Me”
In a bluntly worded statement, Edochie distanced himself from the ongoing custody drama, accusing critics and clout-chasers of using his household’s name for financial gain and social media engagement.
“Some of my fans have reached out to me, saying, ‘pls allow him to see his children’,” Edochie wrote.
“I have never stopped anybody from seeing his children. In this era of social media, people prefer chasing clout and chasing social media money with my name, rather than doing the right thing.”
The actor further emphasized that any arrangements regarding the children should be handled directly between the two former spouses, noting that he should not be dragged into the equation.
“Tell him to call his ex-wife,” Edochie added. “If he wants to see or take his children, let them discuss it. He has her number. It has nothing to do with me.”
