Social media activist Verydarkman has publicly criticised nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest over his political alignment, sparking heated reactions online.
In a viral video circulating across social media platforms, Verydarkman accused the celebrity businessman of chasing influence and public approval while aligning with the “City Boy Movement,” a slogan widely associated with supporters of President Bola Tinubu.
The activist questioned Cubana Chief Priest’s political stance, especially in relation to the continued detention of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. According to him, earlier political rhetoric that appeared tied to Kanu’s release has not translated into action.
Verydarkman made it clear that his respect for the socialite now depends on results, not public declarations.
He said political endorsements should bring meaningful outcomes for the people, not personal gain or visibility.
In his words:
“You used it to get a lot of clout so that your people will think that you’re fighting for them. Now the agenda is already clear. Nnamdi Kanu is still in prison. That 10 thousand votes wey you say them no go get if Nnamdi Kanu no dey outside, you don dey help them now with the City Boy Movement.”
He continued:
“I can’t respect you anymore, to be very honest. The only thing that you can tell me now, Cubana Chief Priest, is that this thing wey you dey do by end of February Nnamdi Kanu go commot. If Nnamdi Kanu no comot by the end of February, you’re a snake and a terrible person. If him no comot, you’re just a typical user that was using his people.”
The video has since generated intense debate online, with many Nigerians divided over the activist’s remarks and the broader conversation around celebrity political influence.
