Danielle Yul Edochie, the daughter of actor Yul Edochie, appears to have taken a subtle dig at her father’s second wife, Judy, while praising and showing support for her mother, May Edochie.
Danielle Yul Edochie, in a show of admiration and loyalty, praised her mother, May Edochie, on her birthday, calling her the “original” and “first” – implying that she is the true and authentic partner of her father, Yul Edochie.
Danielle went on to describe her mother as “overall blessed” and “God’s favorite”, and challenged anyone to try to match her mother’s qualities, suggesting that it’s not easily replicable.
“Happy birthday to the Original, the first before anyone else, the overall blessed & God’s favorite. Love you for life. Do am if e easy. Shutdown Promax”.
Danielle Yul Edochie’s recent praise for her mother, May, is widely interpreted as a subtle dig at her father’s second wife, Judy Austin, whom he married secretly and with whom he has two children.
This isn’t the first time Danielle has expressed her displeasure; earlier this year, she removed her father’s surname, “Yul Edochie,” from her social media profiles, changing her name from Danielle Yul Edochie to Danielle Diana Dubem.
Despite the public drama surrounding his personal life, actor Yul Edochie consistently expresses love and admiration for his daughter, Danielle.
He has publicly praised her on several occasions, including her birthday, calling her dear to him, the leader of the “Yul Edochie squad”, and a future superstar in Nigeria.
He has also commended her beauty, intelligence, and confidence, jokingly attributing her stubbornness to her “pure Yul-Edochie blood”. When Danielle secured her first ambassadorial deal, both Yul and her mother, May, celebrated her achievement, with Yul praying for her to surpass his own success.
However, Danielle has made it clear that she dislikes unsolicited advice, questioning why people offer guidance she never asked for, finding it annoying.
