May Edochie had taken to her Instagram page to reflect on the challenges of the past year and express her emotions about entering the new year, 2024.

In response to May’s heartfelt post, Grace Makun, also known as Fabjewels on social media, advised her to reclaim her identity by removing Yul Edochie’s surname and flourishing independently.
