Jep Sepahtu expresses frustration over friendship dispute with Shuib

Malaysian comedian and radio presenter Jep Sepahtu, whose real name is Mohd Nadzri Zainal Abidin, has expressed deep frustration regarding an ongoing dispute with former colleague Shuib. Jep claims that their past friendship issues are being continuously used as marketing tools and publicity fodder in podcasts.

Jep stated that he has already attempted to resolve the matter, including offering apologies, but feels exhausted by the public narrative that portrays certain parties as being more virtuous than others. He specifically criticized the use of friendship sentiments for promotional purposes, questioning the true motives behind the continued public discussion.

Additionally, the dispute involves allegations regarding performance payments and EPF contributions. Jep clarified that he never entered into group payment agreements, asserting that all financial dealings were handled on an individual basis. He has requested that the matter be dropped so he can focus on his family.
