Seun Kuti, VeryDarkMan Unfollow Each Other, Fuel Rift Rumours Online
Seun Kuti and VeryDarkMan have sparked speculation of a fallout after both personalities unfollowed each other on Instagram.
The development comes amid ongoing conversations surrounding VeryDarkMan’s legal issues with Linus Williams Ifejirika, further intensifying public curiosity about the state of their relationship.
Although neither party has officially confirmed a dispute, Seun Kuti appeared to add fuel to the rumours in a viral Instagram story, where he mocked VeryDarkMan’s fanbase—popularly known as “Ratel.” In the post, he wrote: “You are rats, not ratels. Why una dey disguise?”
The comment has since generated reactions online, with fans debating whether it signals a deeper rift between the two, who were previously seen as allies.
Interestingly, the development comes just weeks after VeryDarkMan publicly supported Seun Kuti during his clash with Wizkid over comments tied to the legacy of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. VeryDarkMan had also recently visited Fela’s gravesite, a move that drew attention on social media.
Opinion: From Allies to Uncertainty—The Fragility of Public Friendships
In today’s social media era, something as simple as an “unfollow” can quickly become headline news—and sometimes, it says more than words.
The situation between Seun Kuti and VeryDarkMan shows how fragile public alliances can be. One moment, two figures appear aligned; the next, subtle actions and indirect comments hint at tension.
However, it’s also worth noting that not every online gesture confirms a serious conflict. Social media often magnifies minor disagreements, turning them into full-blown narratives before facts are clear.
Seun’s comment about the fanbase adds a layer of intrigue, but without direct clarification, it remains open to interpretation—whether it was a joke, frustration, or something more personal.
Ultimately, this reflects a larger reality: relationships in the public eye are constantly scrutinized, and even small shifts can spark widespread speculation. Until either party speaks directly, the story remains one of uncertainty rather than confirmed conflict.
