Deacon Famous Vows to Expose Actress Ekene Umenwa, Accuses Her of Lying About Sponsoring His Wedding
Deacon Famous vows to expose actress Ekene Umenwa, after multiple statements from the actress.
Popular Nigerian skit maker and Nollywood actor Deacon Famous has sparked massive reactions online after releasing a series of emotional videos where he accused his former close friend, actress Ekene Umenwa, of lying and attempting to rewrite the story surrounding their fallout.
The drama, which has been brewing quietly for months, finally spilled into the public space and has since become one of the most talked about celebrity issues in recent days.
Deacon Famous, whose real name is Udaya Awesome Chidiebere, openly challenged Ekene Umenwa to come forward and deny his claims, adding that he was fully prepared to release evidence, including WhatsApp chats, if necessary.
In his words, he stated clearly that he was tired of being silent while false narratives were being spread about him and his wife.
The actor revealed that their friendship started on a strong note and that he supported Ekene at different stages of her career and personal life. He claimed that he stood by her during her wedding preparations, helped her gain social media exposure, and even contributed financially to make her big day successful.
According to him, despite all the sacrifices, the relationship later turned sour due to a series of misunderstandings, disappointments, and alleged betrayals.
One of the strongest accusations Deacon Famous made was that Ekene falsely claimed she sponsored part of his wedding.
He described this as a lie and insisted that he fully handled his wedding expenses without depending on her financial help. He further alleged that some of the vendors Ekene recommended ended up frustrating his wedding plans, including a fashion designer who delayed his wife’s wedding dress until just a day before the ceremony, putting them under serious pressure.
The skit maker also alleged that Ekene backbit his wife and made damaging statements about her behind closed doors.
In another explosive video, he claimed that the actress called his spiritual mother several times, allegedly issuing threats and making disrespectful remarks.
According to him, these actions deeply affected him emotionally and spiritually, pushing him to finally speak out.
Deacon Famous did not stop there. He shared screenshots of WhatsApp conversations to back up his claims, insisting that he was not fabricating the story. He accused Ekene of spreading false rumors that he married his wife for foreign documents and body shaming him in front of people. He said these allegations negatively affected his career, causing him to lose job opportunities and business deals.
This public confrontation shocked many fans who once admired the strong friendship between Deacon Famous and Ekene Umenwa. The duo used to appear together frequently in skits, movies, and social media content, often portraying themselves as inseparable best friends.
Their sudden separation last year had already raised eyebrows, but neither party initially offered clear explanations.
Earlier reports had suggested that their fallout might have been connected to Ekene’s continued friendship with Deacon Famous’ ex girlfriend, Ada Uli.
Speculations claimed that his wife was uncomfortable with the closeness, but Deacon Famous later dismissed those claims, saying the real issues were far deeper than what the public imagined.
Following his recent revelations, social media platforms quickly erupted with reactions from fans, colleagues, and bloggers. While some supported Deacon Famous and praised him for finally speaking his truth, others urged caution, reminding both parties that there are always two sides to every story.
Several users advised them to settle their differences privately rather than turning it into public drama.
In response to the growing controversy, Ekene Umenwa also made a subtle reaction online. She shared a prayer video on her social media page, asking God to grant her peace and strength.
Although she did not directly address the accusations, many interpreted her post as a silent response to the ongoing situation. The comment section quickly filled with mixed reactions, with some fans defending her while others demanded that she speak openly about the allegations.
Despite the tension, Deacon Famous maintained that his intention was not to destroy Ekene’s reputation but to clear his name and protect his family from further damage.
He stated that his wife, whom he described as innocent, had suffered emotional distress due to the false claims and online attacks. According to him, staying silent was no longer an option.
