Ekene Umenwa and Deacon Famous: Friendship Rift Sparks Online Reactions
Nigerian actress Ekene Umenwa and her close friend, Deacon Famous, have recently made headlines, but not for the usual reasons. Their names have been trending across social media and entertainment blogs following Deacon Famous’ white wedding to his Ghanaian bride, Mawusi Faith, in Asaba.
While the exact reasons behind their reported fallout remain unclear, speculation has been rife after eagle-eyed fans noticed that Ekene had unfollowed Deacon Famous on Instagram—an action he reciprocated.
Tension at the Wedding?
Sources claim that there may have been subtle tension between the two friends even at the wedding ceremony. Unlike her usual lively presence, Ekene reportedly seemed reserved upon her arrival, fueling further speculation about a possible rift.
However, no official statements have been made by either party to confirm or deny these rumors.
Fan Reactions
As expected, social media was abuzz with theories and opinions about what could have led to the apparent fallout between the two industry friends. Some online users speculated that Deacon Famous’ new wife may have played a role, while others argued that it could simply be a case of drifting apart.
One user wrote, “So because he got married, his best friend should cut ties with her? That’s not fair.”
Another added, “Ekene obviously meant no harm. Sometimes friendships just change over time.”
The Wedding That Started It All
Just days before their Instagram fallout, Deacon Famous’ wedding had been the talk of the town. His traditional wedding ceremony saw him donning a regal Ghanaian Kente wrapper, symbolizing his embrace of his wife’s heritage. The event was graced by notable guests, including Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss and Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia.
Despite the glitz and glamour, it now appears that behind the scenes, not everything was as picture-perfect as it seemed.
What’s Next?
For now, fans are left wondering if Ekene Umenwa and Deacon Famous will address their rumored rift or if this marks the end of a once-strong friendship. With both being public figures, it’s only a matter of time before more details emerge.
Regardless of the speculation, one thing is certain: their friendship has taken an unexpected turn, and the entertainment world is watching closely to see what happens next.
