Just In – Verydarkman Warns Nigerians About Deception in the Entertainment Industry and Urges Caution Amid Celebrity Scandals

Controversial activist and internet personality Verydarkman has made headlines once again with a strongly worded video addressing the chaos in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. In the now-viral clip, he cautioned Nigerians against bearing false witness and falling for the surface-level drama presented by celebrities. According to him, what fans see online is often manipulated and far removed from the truth. 

“This industry is dark,” he declared. “It’s all a smokescreen. The followers are the tool. At the end, it is abracadabra.” His warning is a direct response to the rising number of accusations, call-outs, and celebrity clashes flooding Nigerian social media. He urged the public to stop acting as pawns in these battles and instead start demanding evidence and clarity before picking sides.

 Verydarkman further stated that fans are unknowingly being used as weapons in wars they do not understand. He described how some celebrities strategically leak information, create false narratives, or incite outrage to gain sympathy, relevance, or silence opposition. “Y’all say there are videos everywhere—this is your opportunity,” he said, calling on people to look for real proof and not fall for distractions.

He also took a jab at what he called "performative activism" by celebrities who appear to fight for justice in public but are allegedly complicit in darkness behind closed doors. He encouraged Nigerians to look beyond emotions and focus on facts. His message reflects his growing concern that public outrage is often misdirected, manipulated, and exploited.

The timing of his video is significant, as it follows a series of high-profile celebrity scandals, most of which have lacked solid evidence yet gone viral due to emotional narratives and fan support. Verydarkman noted that until Nigerians stop rushing to judgment, the cycle of misinformation and online bullying will continue unchecked.

His message has divided public opinion. While some praised his courage and clarity, others criticized him for being vague and not naming names. Despite the criticism, many acknowledged that his point about manipulation and distraction is worth considering in today’s internet culture, where trending stories often lack truth.

Over the past year, Verydarkman has positioned himself as a truth-teller and watchdog in a digital space filled with misinformation. Though his approach is often controversial, his central message has remained consistent: question everything, think critically, and don’t be easily swayed by celebrity theatrics.

As drama continues to unfold online and fans take sides in celebrity feuds, Verydarkman’s warning is a reminder to pause, evaluate, and avoid becoming part of the smokescreen. In an industry where illusion often replaces reality, his message may be inconvenient—but it forces uncomfortable truths into public conversation.
