The Edochie family has recently been embroiled in significant online drama, primarily involving Linc Edochie, his new wife Yinka, and Yul Edochie's estranged first wife, May Edochie. The controversy escalated when Yinka, who has been in an ongoing conflict with May's supporters, took to social media to share May's private phone number. She publicly accused May of leveraging her fanbase against her and playing the victim, claiming that May had also shared Yinka's number, leading to insults and harassment.

In a notable development, Linc Edochie, a filmmaker and actor, openly condemned his new wife's actions. He publicly distanced himself from the scandalous acts against May Edochie, his brother's estranged first wife, emphasizing his commitment to peace and decrying online harassment. In an emotionally charged statement, Linc asserted, "I usually don’t make careless speeches but I want to set the record straight. I am a man of peace and value my sanity. For the records, I did not endorse the recent attacks on May neither did I endorse posting her number online which has triggered meaningless retaliation. We may not all agree with each other but we can respect one another…Better to be alone and at peace than to be in a union filled with landmines. Respect." This statement was widely interpreted as an indication of distress within his recent marriage to Yinka.

Further intensifying the situation, Linc Edochie and Yinka unfollowed each other on Instagram. Shortly after, Yinka herself announced the end of her relationship with Linc on her social media timeline, stating, “In all things we say thank you, Lord!! My relationship with Line is over. No hard feelings at all. I am very sad, but in all things we thank God.” This announcement came less than a month after their wedding was reportedly announced in May 2024, a private ceremony whose factual status has been a subject of debate and public criticism, particularly concerning the family's alleged condoning of polygamy. Despite her announcement of separation, Yinka later shared a picture of Linc, referring to him as her “Odoguwu” and wishing him blessings, adding another layer of complexity to their public spat.

The ongoing feud has drawn significant reactions from netizens, with many expressing support for May Edochie. Comments online highlighted May's peaceful demeanor and perceived innocence, often referencing Pete Edochie's public praise for May as his favorite daughter-in-law. Social media users have largely seen Linc's actions as a quick deliverance from a potentially problematic union, while questioning Yinka's judgment and the longevity of her new relationship. Some speculated that the separation announcement might be a prank to deter May's fanbase, while others celebrated May's silent strength amidst the attacks.

This latest episode also brings to mind previous family dynamics, including Yul Edochie's past reactions to Linc's advice. Yul had previously slammed those, including his brother, who told him to keep his marriage off social media, questioning if they were providing him with data. The continuous public unfolding of these personal conflicts underscores the intense scrutiny and public engagement surrounding the Edochie family's affairs.
