Nigerian Entertainment News: Verydarkman Reacts to Davido’s Remarks on Nigerian Economy
Prominent social media personality Vincent Otse Martins, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has expressed his perspective on the backlash Nigerian singer Davido received over his recent statements about the nation’s economy
During an interview on The Big Homies House podcast, Davido described Nigeria’s economy as being in “shambles” and advised black Americans, particularly Nigerians in the diaspora, against returning home.
His comments stirred controversy, drawing criticism from notable figures like Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle, political commentator Reno Omokri, former presidential aide Busari Ahmed, and APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe, among others.
Many critics argued that Davido’s remarks could dissuade foreign investors and painted a discouraging picture of the country. However, some Nigerians rallied behind the artist, agreeing with his assessment of the country’s current economic struggles.
Among his supporters was Verydarkman, who posted a video on Instagram defending Davido. He accused critics of being overly judgmental and failing to acknowledge the truth in Davido’s comments.
VDM further suggested that Davido should have highlighted the issue of insecurity in Nigeria during the interview. He added that if he were in Davido’s position, he would have cautioned Americans about the risk of kidnappings if they chose to relocate to Nigeria.
This development has sparked widespread debate within the sphere of Nigerian Entertainment News, reflecting the complexities of discussing the nation’s challenges on global platforms.
In his words,
“Davido didn’t lie Nigeria Economy is really In shambles, Davido in your next Interview also add that their is serious Insecurity in Nigeria, so Because Davido’s dad has a Billion Dollar investment he should lie that everything in Nigeria is good, you all are lucky that CNN didn’t invite me for an Interview I would have said worst.”
