Media personality Do2dtun and filmmaker Jade Osiberu clashed online following an explosive podcast interview by Roby Ekpo about his failed marriage to Mayowa Lambe. Legit.ng reported that on the Honest Bunch podcast, Roby Ekpo recounted his wasted years in his relationship, accusing his ex-wife of infidelity and financial deception.
The social media drama began when Jade Osiberu criticized Roby Ekpo's friends for allowing him to share his painful marital experiences on a public platform. She wrote: "This Roby guy… his friends are not good people oo. Why did anyone allow this guy to go on this show? I know he intended to come off as a victim, but bruh, ko work ooo."
Responding to her post, Do2dtun defended his decision to stand by his friend, explaining that he preferred Roby Ekpo finding public closure over taking a sinister path. "Again, I would rather he find closure than choose a more sinister path. He is here, and I'm glad he is," Do2dtun said.
The filmmaker, known for her Gang of Lagos film, fired back by maintaining that the internet is not therapy, accusing the media personality of projecting his unhealed traumas onto her. "Dotun, my dear, you sef need to heal oh. You're projecting your own biases onto what I haven't said, and it shows that your issue isn't with me, my dear," she wrote.
Do2dtun dismissed her statements as deeply patronizing, calling her out for hypocritically judging his life while imposing her views on others. "Please stop the dear bullsh!t. It's patronising. You lost my respect. You want to play dirty, let's play. Who are you to tell people about healing? Your films don't teach anything so much that they qualify as what anyone can learn anything from. You dish out a diagnosis that you can't defend."
Netizens backed Do2dtun and Roby Ekpo in the exchange. User @_youfounddinma said: "When women speak out, you won't find anyone speaking on the platforms she used, we'd all just be glad that she did. Let's learn to extend the same grace to men as well abeg." @sauceprince1 commented: "You can't blame him for speaking out. Trust me, he will feel better now! He should just do some self care rituals, like I did. He will get over everything with time, it might take years, but he will be fine."

You can't tell a grown man how to grieve or heal. Maybe the podcast will give him the closure he's looking for. Men suffer too."
Earlier, Yul Edochie and Do2dtun clashed online over the messy drama between Roby Ekpo and his ex-wife, Mayowa. In a post making rounds online, Do2dtun noted that he preferred how Ekpo was able to express himself, regardless of the emotions he showed, stating it was better for his mental health to speak out than to remain silent and suffer. Reacting, Edochie stated that Ekpo was not supposed to show his emotions in public, as his behaviour on the podcast showed weakness.
