- Nollywood actor and former presidential candidate Yul Edochie has been criticized by fans for his mourning post to American professional wrestler Hulk Hogan.
Nollywood actor and former presidential aspirant Yul Edochie has come under fire after sharing a mourning post for American wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, who is very much alive despite viral rumors suggesting otherwise.
On Thursday, it was reported that the WWE Hall of Famer had passed away at the age of 71 due to cardiac arrest. The news quickly spread across social media, prompting a wave of emotional reactions from fans and celebrities.
Yul Edochie took to his Instagram page to pay tribute, expressing sorrow over what he believed was the loss of a childhood icon.
“This one pain.
What a life.
He was our childhood hero.
Rest well, Legendary Hulk Hogan,” he wrote.
However, fans were quick to correct the actor in the comments section, pointing out that Hulk Hogan is alive and well, and that the death report was false. Some mocked Yul for not verifying the news before posting, while others saw it as another example of his recent string of controversial online behavior.
The incident adds to the ongoing scrutiny Yul Edochie has faced on social media in recent months, with critics accusing him of chasing clout and failing to properly fact-check before sharing sensitive updates.
As of now, Hulk Hogan has made no public comment regarding the false reports, and his official platforms remain active.
