Social media activist VeryDarkMan has dismissed Gehgeh, other influencers and musicians, declaring that he does not rate them and that they are not on his level.
VDM made the remarks in a video response to Gehgeh’s criticism of his decision to import and sell power-related products, as well as comments from other influencers.
He accused some influencers of using their platforms to promote betting, cryptocurrency, iTunes and gift card businesses instead of speaking up about problems affecting Nigerians.
According to him, many of them travelled abroad, returned with expensive cars and received praise from their followers without using their influence to demand solutions to the country’s challenges.
Defending his business, VDM said he travelled to China, discovered products that could make life easier for Nigerians and decided to bring them into the country.
He also challenged the influencers to show when they had supported his calls for the government to address the country’s problems.
VDM insisted that some of those criticising him could only talk but lacked the ability to bring real change.
“All this bunch of clowns talking, I no rate una,” he said.
He further dismissed comparisons with musicians, declaring, “All of them, both the musicians, I’m not their mates.”
