- Seun Kuti stated that Verydarkman serves a purpose.
- Kuti stated that even though he respects Paulo, he cannot order him publicly.
Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti recently expressed his opinion on the significance of VeryDarkMan (VDM), a controversial social media activist.
Kuti’s comments came in response to music executive, Paulo’s request for him and others to distance themselves from VDM.
According to Seun Kuti, Verydarkman serves a necessary purpose, particularly in holding corrupt politicians and their enablers accountable.
He believes VDM has the ability to mobilize people against these individuals, which himself cannot do.
In a video shared on his Instagram, Seun Kuti emphasized that while he values his relationship with Paulo, he cannot be publicly ordered around.
He also stressed the importance of earning respect, stating, “Elders must earn respect.”
He said:
“I have a good relationship with Paulo but that doesn’t give him the right to order me publicly. Even if Paulo has helped me, he can’t order me publicly. If he had called me on the phone, I would probably have cut ties with VDM by now. Because I don’t know how much the beef is worth to him,”
“So that’s what I see in the relationship that we all have with ourselves in Nigeria. VDM for me is a necessity. VeryDarkMan is a necessity. Because he can do the personal. But I don’t know how to. VeryDarkMan can bring the people against the agents of corrupt politicians. Those people with the spirits of the politicians. Those politicians enablers who use their fame to bully the powerless.”
Following issues between verydarkman and Paulo, Xxssive urges Davido to address VDM’s recent allegations.
Xxssive warned that Davido’s loyal supporters might turn against him due to VDM’s controversial remarks.
He urged Davido to caution VeryDarkMan, asserting that he has never achieved anything significant in life but goes about throwing jabs at Davido’s wedding guests.
He further raised concerns that Davido’s wife, Chioma, could become the next target of VDM’s online drama if prompt action is not taken.
