Social Media Critic VeryDarkMan Condemns Lavish Car Purchases by Nigerian Music Stars.

Controversial social media personality VeryDarkMan has publicly criticized prominent Nigerian musicians Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid for their recent acquisitions of expensive vehicles. This censure comes amidst growing economic hardship in Nigeria, raising questions about the musicians’ sensitivity to the struggles of their fanbase and the broader community.

The controversy erupted following Burna Boy’s purchase of a N3.5 billion McLaren Sienna, making him the first owner of this model in Africa. Shortly after, reports surfaced of Davido acquiring a 2026 Mercedes Maybach SL 680 for N1.2 billion. These purchases follow Wizkid’s reported acquisition of a N1.7 billion car a few months prior.

In a viral Instagram video, VeryDarkMan, known for his critical commentary, questioned the timing and optics of these purchases. He specifically challenged Davido, with whom he claims a personal connection, to demonstrate tangible contributions to his home state of Osun and to Nigeria as a whole. VeryDarkMan argued that these artists, having benefited significantly from Nigeria and their fans, have a responsibility to contribute to the nation’s growth and the well-being of their supporters. The critic’s remarks have ignited a debate about wealth display and social responsibility among Nigeria’s elite.
