“I don’t control Verydarkman” — Seun Kuti sets the record straight

Nigerian Afrobeat star Seun Kuti has distanced himself from the online antics of activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, in the wake of the Bobrisky and EFCC controversy.

Speaking out after a viral audio call between himself and VDM, Seun clarified that despite their conversations, he has no control over the TikToker’s outspoken views.

Seun, son of the legendary Fela Kuti, emphasized that Verydarkman operates on his own terms, saying, “If I had tried to stop him from posting the audio, he wouldn’t have listened.”

The Afrobeat singer also expressed regret over VDM’s remarks about senior lawyer Femi Falana, apologizing and stating that he didn’t agree with how the lawyer was portrayed.

Seun revealed that the call’s focus was on Bobrisky’s alleged dealings with the EFCC, which VDM was keen to expose, but reiterated that he never saw the full recording before it was posted online.

His message? Verydarkman is responsible for his own actions, and Seun Kuti is not pulling the strings.
