In a video posted by Seun Kuti, he explained that he never approved VDM’s actions against the Falana family. Seun claimed he was unaware of the full details, having not listened to the controversial audio note that sparked the outrage. Instead, he said he relied on hearsay, which led him to unknowingly support the situation. In his apology, Seun admitted that he made a mistake and clarified that he has always respected the Falanas.
This prompted a strong reaction from Samklef, who took to social media to criticize Seun’s actions. Samklef accused Seun of abandoning VDM after the situation escalated, likening him to the biblical Peter, who famously denied knowing Jesus. In his post, Samklef warned the public to beware of friends who quickly turn their backs on others when things go wrong. His message was a not-so-subtle jab at Seun, highlighting what Samklef perceived as betrayal.
The post stirred up a wide range of reactions online, with many netizens weighing in on the issue. Some defended Seun, pointing out that his decision to apologize and distance himself from the matter was the right thing to do. A user commented, “Falana is a ‘more friend’ to the Kuti’s than VDM. Seun Kuti did the right thing, and he didn’t deny anybody.” Others, however, supported Samklef’s stance, blaming Seun for fueling the issue in the first place.
Despite the mixed reactions, it’s clear that Samklef’s comments have reignited conversations about loyalty and friendship in the entertainment industry. His comparison of Seun to Peter struck a chord with some who felt betrayed by Seun’s quick apology and withdrawal from the controversy. This has further complicated the dynamics between the public figures involved in the saga.
While Seun Kuti’s apology may have been an attempt to clear the air, Samklef’s remarks suggest that not everyone is satisfied with how the situation unfolded. The ongoing fallout has not only affected the individuals involved but has also drawn attention to how misunderstandings can spiral out of control in the age of social media.
The VeryDarkMan saga continues to generate buzz, and the involvement of influential figures like Seun Kuti and Samklef has only added to the drama. As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how this situation will impact the relationships between these Nigerian celebrities moving forward.
