“I Asked Linc, Is It Because I’m Yoruba? And He Said He Believes So” — Yinka Theisen Breaks Silence After Split with Linc Edochie

The dust surrounding the shocking breakup between Yinka Theisen and Linc Edochie, brother of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, is far from settled as Yinka bares it all in her first public interview since the split.

Speaking with raw emotion and clarity, Yinka accused the Edochie family of betrayal, tribal bias, and manipulation—claiming she was "thrown under the bus" by the very people she once called family.

“I don’t appreciate the way the family threw me under the bus,” she began. “I asked Linc, is it because I’m Yoruba? And he said… he believes so.”

The statement has sent shockwaves across social media, triggering a firestorm of conversation around tribalism in Nigerian relationships and the inner workings of one of Nollywood’s most talked-about families.

But Yinka didn’t stop there.

In a bold accusation, she pointed fingers at Rita Edochie, the veteran actress and vocal supporter of May Edochie—ex-wife to Yul. According to Yinka, Rita has been secretly stirring trouble behind the scenes.

“She claims to support May in public, but she’s doing things behind her that aren’t as innocent as they seem.”

Yinka also addressed swirling rumors that she leaked the phone numbers of Linc and other Edochie family members online—a claim she firmly denies. Instead, she turned the accusation around, revealing that May Edochie was the one who leaked her personal contact, prompting her to respond by sharing May’s number in retaliation.

“I only released May’s number after she leaked mine. But somehow, I became the villain.”

This dramatic fallout began just weeks after Yinka and Linc celebrated what seemed like a blissful union. But things took a sharp turn when Linc publicly announced their separation, prompting Yinka to fire back, accusing him of being a coward and blocking him on social media.

Since then, Nollywood fans and observers have watched the drama unfold like a real-life soap opera, with different camps forming behind Yinka, Linc, May, and Rita.

The Edochie name, long revered in Nollywood, is now caught in an emotional storm that touches on tribalism, betrayal, and public perception. Yinka’s latest interview has opened a new chapter, leaving Nigerians debating everything from cultural tolerance in marriages to the unseen dynamics of celebrity families.

Will Linc respond? Will Rita Edochie defend herself? And how will May’s camp react to these explosive allegations?
