Popular social media activist, Verydarkman, has once again made headlines after gospel singer Mercy Chinwo followed him on Instagram. Instead of feeling happy or flattered, Verydarkman got angry and called her out publicly.
The whole drama started many months ago when Verydarkman got involved in Mercy Chinwo’s legal battle with her former manager, Eezee Concept. At that time, the singer had issues with her ex-manager and went to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Verydarkman spoke about the matter on social media and many people had mixed feelings about his comments.
Later on, the manager apologised and took back what he said about Mercy Chinwo. Everything seemed to calm down, but now, out of nowhere, Mercy Chinwo decided to follow Verydarkman on Instagram.
One would think that this move would make peace between them, but it did not. Verydarkman became upset instead. In a video that he posted online, he said that Mercy Chinwo was trying to manipulate him by pretending to be friendly. He insisted that he did not want her follow and would block her immediately.
In his words, Verydarkman said:
> “Mercy Chinwo you cannot follow me. I will definitely block you. You cannot patronise me. I do not associate myself with evil. Especially evil disguising as gospel artists. Remove yourself from my followers or I will block you.”
His harsh words shocked many people on social media. Some people think he overreacted, while others believe he has a point because they feel he was treated badly during the EFCC issue.
Different people have shared their thoughts online. One user, Maxzypriesty, wrote: “That is why we desperately need a change of government so that this nonsense will end. Folks are doing stuff with so much impunity. So sad!”
Another person, BahamasOAO, questioned whether Mercy Chinwo truly followed Verydarkman. He said: “You sure say na Mercy Chinwo follow you? After you insulted her and criticised her, how can someone like that still follow you?”
Someone else, AyoReggie007, asked Mercy Chinwo why she would follow Verydarkman at all. He wrote: “Mercy Chinwo why now? Out of all the reasonable people in this life, you chose this clown? Mercy why?”
Another social media user, PrayForNaijaNow, mocked Verydarkman, saying: “This one pain you. You have lost. You cannot fight someone that God is fighting for. If you can, why did you not fight for Eezee Tee? Use your power fight for am na. E pain you.”
The drama has kept many people talking on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Some people feel Verydarkman should have just ignored Mercy Chinwo’s follow request if he did not want it. Others think he is using the situation to chase clout and get more people to talk about him.
Meanwhile, some people are defending Mercy Chinwo, saying she may have just wanted to make peace and move on from the old quarrel. They believe that as a gospel singer, she should be able to forgive and be friendly, no matter what happened in the past.
A few people even think the follow might have been an honest mistake, or maybe someone handling her page did it by accident. But Verydarkman does not see it that way. He has made it very clear that he wants no association with her at all.
The video of his rant has gone viral online and many people are still dropping their opinions. Whether this is the end of the drama or the beginning of another round of fighting, only time will tell.
For now, one thing is sure — social media will never stop giving us plenty to talk about.
