Lagos, Nigeria
In a surprising turn, Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy and social critic VeryDarkMan (VDM)—who’d clashed over celebrity philanthropy—were spotted together at a Lagos nightclub last night, sharing food, drinks, and dance amid lively conversation.
The Feud: From Public Clash to Private Peace
Just weeks ago, VDM publicly criticized Burna Boy and other top Nigerian artists for spending lavishly—citing Burna’s ₦3 billion McLaren purchase—as failing to adequately “empower or employ” Nigerians. The backlash was swift, with Burna Boy’s fans countering VDM’s message as hypocritical, even resurfacing old clips of VDM questioning fundraising expectations
Night of Reconciliation
Despite the previous tension, last night saw the two figures unite in harmony. Witnesses report Burna Boy greeting VDM with the heartfelt line, “I no Fêar you VDM. You’re my man,” before the duo ate, drank, and danced late into the evening. Sources say they talked extensively about VDM’s concerns, with Burna Boy expressing plans for an upcoming project focused on giving back to communities.
Men Can Never Hâte Each Other
The encounter illustrated a powerful lesson: “Men can never hate each other because of the truth.” Both parties seemed to find common ground in an honest dialogue—transforming public criticism into a constructive exchange.
