Yul Edochie, a controversial actor, has broken his silence on why he didn't attend the funeral of his late colleague, Junior Pope.

In a social media post, Yul revealed that Junior Pope, whom he considered a brother, had betrayed him multiple times while he was alive. Although he didn't provide specific details, Yul hinted that he would share more information about the betrayals in the future.

This explanation comes after many people wondered why Yul was absent from Junior Pope's burial ceremony, which took place after his passing in a boat accident in April. Yul's post sheds light on the complicated history between the two actors, which ultimately led to his decision not to attend the funeral.

His words read …

“I didn’t want to say anything till after
his burial.
I know many asked why I wasn’t
there.
Why I haven’t said anything about it
since.
I took him like a brother & good
friend. I was there for him when he
needed me.
But he stabbed me in the back,
repeatedly.
That’s LIFE!
I’ll drop the full details soon so
others can learn from it.
Be careful what you wish people, it
could come to you.”
