Yul Edochie has announced a fresh endorsement deal with an online lottery platform, which has given him the right to clap back at critics.
The actor, who has faced intense backlash over his controversial polygamy and cheating scandal, took to social media to celebrate the ambassadorial win while throwing subtle jabs at those he believes are displeased with his progress.
Sharing a video of himself jubilantly endorsing the brand, he hinted that his latest success is unsettling to his detractors.
The actor expressed appreciation to fans who continue to support him and, in a cheeky twist, wished more discomfort upon his critics.
He wrote:
“My endorsement dey pain so many people. Make e pain una well well. The people that are happy for me, God bless you. May happiness follow you. The ones wey e dey pain, make e dey pain una well well.”
