Popular actress mocks Judy Austin, Yul Edochie over baby’s name

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has stirred social media reactions after throwing subtle shade at her colleague Judy Austin over the unique name she gave her newborn daughter.

Judy Austin and her husband, actor Yul Edochie, recently announced the birth of their third child together, sharing joyful photos online and revealing the baby’s full name: Universe Ifeyinwa Storm Yul-Edochie.

In an emotional Instagram post, Judy expressed gratitude to God and fans who prayed for her family, writing:

“We prayed, our fans prayed. And God answered.
Rejoice with us as we welcome our beautiful daughter.
Her name is UNIVERSE IFEYINWA STORM YUL-EDOCHIE. Thank You Lord.”

“Them don born UNIVERSE asin uwa nile. Abeg where the rest of us wan dey??? Chineke para kwa tule. Ha amuola uwa nile.”

Her comment has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some netizens laughing along while others accused her of being petty and disrespectful.
