However, the reactions from fans were anything but supportive. Some accused the actor of clout chasing, while others called his post an attempt to mask deeper issues. One fan, Abigail Iyaji, countered his statement, writing, “You lie ooo. It’s peppering you plenty. Keep faking happiness with Snapchat.”

Others chimed in, questioning Edochie’s relevance without the controversy. “Without clout chasing, who you be?” asked Tumusii Meiman, while Merci_lioness added, “Cos without that, you will be irrelevant. You have nothing to offer.”

Despite the mix of sarcasm, criticism, and mockery, Edochie seems unfazed by the noise. But is Yul Edochie truly unbothered, or is this a deeper cry for validation hidden behind a mask of defiance?
