Popular music producer, Samklef has come out to blast Davido amid the ongoing drama surrounding VeryDarkMan’s arrest. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the singer recently retweeted the #FreeVeryDarkMan hashtag on his X handle, but he was nowhere to be found during an actual protest linked to the cause.
Samklef added that all VDM does is selective activism online and offline, so it is time for his to enjoy the karma of his actions.
His words, “People wey suppose go protest for am dey warm eba chop lol I been think say Davido wan go help am? Clout currency.”
On VDM, “EFCC no Dey work with emotions! This same VDM that once said he would help Davido ‘kpiá’ me—some Nigerian youths are just too gullible and biased.
He can’t even call out certain people. VDM is facing his own karma now. What you do to others will eventually be done to you. Same person wey attack Igbo business men.
EFCC or whoever picked VDM up—will release him once they’re done with him. Simple.
He chose this path, and he has to face everything that comes with it.
You wan be messiah? Every messiah must face the cross.
No be only crown dey come with the calling—sometimes na cuffs too.
SAMKLEF NONI!”
WOW.
