Yul Edochie on His Relationship With Danielle
During the podcast, Yul Edochie was asked about his connection with his first daughter. He stated that they are very close, but acknowledged that Danielle is only 21 years old and he does not expect her to fully understand his perspective. He drew a parallel to his own youth, noting that when he was 21, he also did not understand his father. He added that it is natural for Danielle to lean towards her mother's side.
In his own words: "We are very close. She is just 21, I don't expect her to understand me. When I was 21 years old, I didn't understand my father. There will be a tilt towards her mother; it is a normal thing."
Backlash From Fans
The interview sparked outrage among fans, who took to social media to express their displeasure. Many criticized Yul Edochie for his comments, with some suggesting that Danielle may still be hurt by the events surrounding her parents' separation.
