Social media personality Gehgeh has criticised Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), over his reported threat against singer Davido, arguing that the activist should respect the singer’s right to support a political candidate of his choice.

Gehgeh made the remarks in a video in which he accused VDM of allowing his relationship with singer Burna Boy to influence his attitude towards Davido.

He questioned why VDM had threatened to “wash him down” if the singer spoke about Nigerian politics again, arguing that Davido was entitled to express his political views like any other Nigerian.

“VeryDarkMan’s relationship with Burna Boy is making him see Davido as his enemy,” Gehgeh said.

He compared the situation to the period when streamer Carter Efe was close to Davido and allegedly began attacking VDM, suggesting that the activist was now treating people he considered rivals of Burna Boy as his own adversaries.

Gehgeh condemned the reported warning to Davido, describing it as inappropriate and insisting that the singer should not be intimidated over his political choices.

“That statement is wrong in all ramifications. You’re not more Nigerian than Davido,” he said.

The social media personality also argued that supporting a friend or relative in politics was a personal decision that should not attract hostility.

“If my elder brother is competing for any political party, should I leave my brother and support someone I don’t know?” he asked.

Gehgeh maintained that Davido had the same right as any other Nigerian to support a candidate, regardless of disagreements over political affiliations.

He urged VDM to reconsider his approach, warning that the activist might eventually regret disregarding the advice.

The exchange comes amid public debate over Davido’s political stance and the reactions it has generated among social media personalities and their supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
