Popular TikToker, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as Very Dark Man, has a message for his haters after Nigerian singer Davido followed him on Instagram. In a bold move, Very Dark Man made it clear that he no longer cares about the opinions of his detractors, as long as he is recognized by Davido, whom he considers the number one Afrobeat artist in the world.
Addressing the negativity he often faces, he mentioned that people frequently slide into his DMs to troll and bully him, making derogatory comments about his appearance and financial status, even targeting his family. However, he asserted that he has found solace in his newfound friendship with Davido. He shared a screenshot of a message Davido sent to him, expressing his appreciation for Very Dark Man’s skits and content.
Very Dark Man stated:
In as much as I come out as someone who is emotionally strong, you should also consider that I am human. I can never understand why I get insulted and bullied because of my opinion. Some people go as far as coming into my DMs to insult me and my family uncalled for because of my opinion. They broke shame me, calling me dirty, but it’s fine.
Anytime I want to think about that, I check my DMs, and I see a message from Davido; he said he gbadun me and he follows me. That means if I am sad, he is now my guy; I will text him, and he will console me.
If the number one Afrobeat artiste in the world is following me, then who told you that your opinion matters; all you have to do is insult me.”
This development was met with positive reactions from many fans and supporters who admire Very Dark Man for his authenticity and commitment to speaking the truth. Despite facing hatred and trolls from netizens, he continues to gain recognition and popularity for his originality and standing up for what he believes is right.
It’s worth noting that Very Dark Man had previously opened up about how he struggled with his mental and emotional well-being after actress Nkechi Blessing publicly insulted him. Their online feud took a toll on his mental health, and he admitted to contemplating ending his life. Additionally, he had called out actress Uche Jombo for her involvement in what he believed were fraudulent advertising practices within the celebrity community.
