Popular social media critic and influencer, VeryDarkMan (VDM), has openly declared that he will sever all ties with singer Davido and socialite Cubana Chiefpriest if they publicly campaign for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
VDM made this statement in a video posted on his Instagram page, reacting to Davido and Chiefpriest’s recent visit to the presidency. He emphasized that while he respects everyone’s right to support any political party, he would oppose any celebrity who uses their influence to campaign for politicians, especially the APC.
He said:
“I don’t have a problem with who anyone chooses to support politically. The only way I will have a problem with Davido, Chiefpriest, or any influencer is if they start publicly campaigning for APC or any political party come 2027. I will stand against you.
“Let the people decide. Don’t deceive them to vote for the wrong politicians because of the love they have for you after you have been bought over with money… Any politician that wants the people to support him should speak for himself. Let him campaign for himself; he should not use celebrities.”
VeryDarkMan further insisted that politicians should communicate their plans directly to the people, rather than relying on celebrity endorsements. He warned that he would publicly criticize any celebrity who campaigns for politicians, stating that the suffering masses should be allowed to make their own choices.
Interestingly, VeryDarkMan and Davido have enjoyed a good relationship, with VDM being among the select influencers invited to Davido’s high-profile wedding with Chioma in June 2024.
