Nigerians have taken to social media to criticize influencer Verydarkman after he appeared to defend controversial figures, Naira Marley and Sam Larry, following their involvement in a high-profile incident. Many were upset by Verydarkman’s public support, claiming that a true friend should hold their friends accountable rather than blindly defend them.
The backlash came after the influencer posted a statement on social media, praising the duo for their friendship and downplaying any negative actions. Critics, however, slammed Verydarkman for siding with individuals who have faced serious public scrutiny, arguing that good friends should encourage positive behavior rather than offer blind loyalty.
One Twitter user said, “A real friend would help their friend change for the better, not defend their wrongdoings.” Others argued that defending people involved in controversial situations only perpetuates toxic behavior and sends the wrong message to the public.
The situation has sparked intense debates about friendship, loyalty, and accountability, with many calling for influencers to use their platforms responsibly. The drama continues to unfold as Nigerians discuss the role of influencers in shaping public opinion.
