Why I Stopped Supporting VeryDarkMan – Ruggedman

Nigerian rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, widely known as Ruggedman, recently revealed his reasons for distancing himself from the controversial self-proclaimed activist, VeryDarkMan.

During a recent episode of the Echoo Room podcast, Ruggedman explained that his support for VeryDarkMan waned when the activist began delving into people’s personal lives.

He expressed concern that VeryDarkMan’s methods had become less logical and more intrusive.

The rapper compared VeryDarkMan’s approach to that of a police officer resorting to extreme measures prematurely, suggesting that as a professional, there are more appropriate ways to handle such situations.

Ruggedman emphasized that while he initially supported VeryDarkMan for his efforts to hold people accountable for selling products without proper NAFDAC approval, he has become disillusioned with the activist’s recent actions.

Ruggedman said, “I liked VeryDarkMan in the beginning when he started with the whole NAFDAC number thing but when he started going personal into people’s private lives, especially with women. That to me, he is just distracting himself.

“But it is like saying a policeman took a shooting which was his last resort as the first. They will tell you but if you’re a professional you are supposed to be used to it.

“So even if someone says something against you there is a way you should address it. Not your mama, your papa. You don’t catch me doing that but that’s me.

“His approach is what I don’t like anymore. He was calling out people that sell products without a NAFDAC number, that’s amazing but now what do you hear about him?

“Iyabo Ojo and her daughter kind of thing, that’s why I said it is his approach I’m not okay with. So any response he gets from them is probably what he said.

“I think what he said stemmed from what I think was Mohbad’s situation. Where he said the old retired actresses are trying to use the situation as clout. Everyone knows it was Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.

“Now you can’t say something like that and don’t expect people to respond. So he started it. That’s what I meant by people’s private lives.”
