Very Dark Man (VDM) has called out celebrities like Don Jazzy, Victor Osimhen and Funke Akindele for donating millions to Bobrisky while he was in prison. He questioned their motives, asking if they were sleeping with Bobrisky or if he was pimping them to top politicians.
VDM also stated that these celebrities can’t even help build boreholes for communities without clean water or send children to schools. He further said that he wasn’t seeking validation from anyone and that there’s no penalty for insult, telling the celebrities to take him to court if they were offended by his remarks.
VDM’s comments sparked a heated debate on social media, with some users defending Bobrisky and the celebrities who donated to him, while others praised VDM for speaking truth to power.
Some users argued that Bobrisky’s incarceration was a result of his bravery in being himself, and that the donations were a show of support for his courage. Others countered that Bobrisky’s actions were attention-seeking and that the donations could have been better spent on more pressing social issues.
VDM’s remarks also led to a wider conversation about the culture of celebrity philanthropy in Nigeria, with some users questioning the motivations behind public displays of generosity.
In response to the backlash, VDM doubled down on his statements, saying that he was simply telling the truth and that those who were offended should take him to court. He also clarified that he had no personal issue with Bobrisky, but rather was criticizing the culture of celebrity worship and the misplaced priorities of some Nigerian celebrities.
