VeryDarkMan has lost 13,000 followers after picking a side in the P-Square family feud. Here’s why Nigerians are dragging him.
VeryDarkMan finally learned the hard way that some family matters just aren’t your business to referee.
The activist, real name Martin Otse, decided to wade into the messy Okoye family feud and pick Jude’s side. Big mistake. Within days, thousands of his followers hit the unfollow button, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why people are upset.
Here’s the gist. VDM said he’d looked into the P-Square brothers’ dispute and even hinted he’d be dropping his “findings” after talking to people close to the situation. But instead of coming with solid proof, a lot of what he shared seemed to lean on conversations he claimed to have had with singer Cynthia Morgan and an encounter with Phyno. Peter Okoye, meanwhile, hasn’t said a word in response to any of it.
That’s where the problem started. Cynthia Morgan wasn’t having it either. She’s accused VDM of only siding with Jude, her former label boss, because she once turned down his friendship. Ouch.
Media personality Radiogad also called him out, basically asking where the actual receipts were after all those videos VDM dropped on the topic.
Then came the celebrity pile-on. Liberian actor Artus Frank, who says he genuinely respects VDM, still told him plainly to back off.
“Stay off this. Trust me, you are a very respected person… As long as it comes to the Okoye family, stay off it,” Frank said.
And regular fans weren’t left out either. One fan, KDC Global, made a point that hit different: “Thank God Jude is alive. Recall Paul came out to say he wished his mother were alive to defend herself. Thank God Jude and Paul are alive and can defend themselves.”
Basically, people are tired of outsiders inserting themselves into a fight between grown men who can speak for themselves.
By the time the dust settled, VDM had lost 13,000 followers, and he didn’t try to act tough about it. He actually apologized, writing that he’d made “a terrible mistake” and begged the same 13,000 people who used to support his brand to forgive him.
It’s a pretty humbling moment for someone known for never backing down. But this whole saga says a lot about where the public’s patience is right now. Nigerians clearly don’t mind watching celebrity drama unfold, they just don’t want random third parties turning it into their personal crusade.
Whether VDM steps back from the topic or doubles down, one thing’s certain: the internet is watching closely.
