Controversial critic, Verydarkman has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding Grammy award‑winning Nigerian artist, Dami Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, amid heated discussions on social media regarding his recent concert in the United States.
The incident that sparked the uproar involved Burna Boy stopping his performance to order a female fan, who had fallen asleep during the show, to leave the venue. This action quickly went viral and drew widespread criticism, with many fans and observers debating whether his decision was justified or overly harsh.
Details Of VeryDarkMan’s Post
In a detailed video posted to his YouTube channel, Verydarkman shared a clip that had been circulating on the micro‑blogging platform X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the footage was misleading and had been re‑edited to misrepresent the situation.
The critic asserted that the clip was originally recorded during the 2020 End‑SARS protests in Abuja, Nigeria, and that the viral version was being misused to target Burna Boy unfairly. According to him, the misrepresentation was fueling unwarranted backlash against the artist online.
Verydarkman also addressed rumors concerning the female fan involved in the incident, pointing out that the Instagram account responsible for the viral post had changed its username six times since its creation in July 2022, raising questions about the authenticity and reliability of the claims being spread.
He further responded to an X user, @honest30bgfan, who alleged that Burna Boy had lost over 100,000 Instagram followers as a result of the incident. Verydarkman presented evidence contradicting this claim, demonstrating that the purported mass unfollowing did not occur.
Additionally, Verydarkman dug up an old video from the same X account that purportedly showed a lack of audience presence at Burna Boy’s Coachella performance. He argued that the clip was misleading and taken from a time when Burna Boy was not even performing at the festival, thereby challenging the narrative that the artist had lost popularity or support.
Through his analysis, Verydarkman emphasized the importance of verifying content before spreading it on social media and highlighted how re‑edited clips could easily manipulate public perception, particularly in the fast‑moving world of celebrity news.
The video and evidence presented by Verydarkman have since gone viral, reigniting discussions on social media about the responsibilities of both content creators and fans in ensuring accurate representation, and about the fairness of criticizing artists based on potentially misleading footage.
