Nollywood vixen Rita Edochie has stepped up to defend her niece Queen May Yul Edochie, squashing backlash around the recent launch of May’s business in London. Critics had labeled the event as “too cheap”—comments Rita swiftly rejected as unfair and uninformed.

Taking to Instagram, Rita praised her niece and slammed the naysayers:

“My celebrity daughter… Grace personified. Some little‑minded individuals said your event was too cheap — I can only laugh in Swahili. Is it easy to hire a hall in the heart of London? Do you know how much pound cash that went down? The event had massive attendance, only by God’s grace.”

She went on to tease a second wave of celebrations in Manchester, promising that May was “about to scatter the UK.”

– Rita has previously defended May against trolls demanding she drop the Edochie surname following her divorce—emphasizing it was hers to keep.

– Just days before this post, Rita celebrated May publicly on social media, highlighting family unity and shared legacy.
