Popular skit maker, Deacon Famous has finally broken his silence regarding his strained friendship with his longtime best friend, Ekene Umenwa, amid growing speculation about the reasons behind their fallout.
The two close friends, who were once inseparable, sparked intrigue among fans and followers after they unexpectedly unfollowed each other on Instagram, leading to widespread speculation about what might have caused their rift.
According to popular entertainment gossip blogger Cutie Juls, the fallout stemmed from Ekene Umenwa’s decision to post a birthday tribute to Deacon Famous’ ex-girlfriend, Ada Uli. The gesture, which might have been innocent, allegedly did not sit well with Deacon Famous, leading to tension between the two friends.
Furthermore, the gossip blogger alleged that Deacon Famous’ wife was not pleased with the fact that Ekene Umenwa maintained ties with her husband's ex, further exacerbating the situation and ultimately fueling Deacon Famous’ displeasure.
As the rumors continued to swirl, Deacon Famous finally addressed the situation, shutting down claims that his wife was the reason behind his decision to sever ties with Ekene Umenwa.
In response to a fan who questioned him about the unfollowing incident in the comment section of one of his posts, Deacon Famous clarified that his decision was based on an entirely different reason, which had not yet been publicly revealed.
He wrote: “I unfollowed but for a different reason. Not what they told you. If I ever open my mouth to speak, rain go fall for some roofs so make I just chill for now. But I hope your favs will tell you the real truth.”
His cryptic response has left fans even more curious, with many speculating that there is more to the story than what has been reported so far.
While neither Ekene Umenwa nor Deacon Famous has publicly disclosed the full details of their fallout, their actions on social media have continued to fuel conversations among fans, many of whom hope that the duo will eventually reconcile.
For now, Deacon Famous appears to be holding back from revealing the entire truth behind their rift, leaving many to wonder what truly transpired between the once-close friends.
