Big Brother Naija reality star, Victoria Iye, popularly known as Vee, has said she can’t take supporters of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and controversial self-styled activist VeryDarkMan, aka VDM, seriously.

Vee in a video message shared via her social media page said their supporters need mental evaluation.

She said: “Personally, I’m judging anybody that supports that current Nigerian government. I’m also judging supporters of VDM.

“It’s high time we start holding certain people responsible. If you say something stupid or defend the wrong thing, I’m cutting you off.

“I don’t believe in freedom fighters. I don’t believe in an individual coming out to say they want to fight for the rights of Nigerians. It doesn’t make sense to me. I think it should be a joint effort. I think everybody should be involved. And I definitely don’t think it should be VDM doing it.

“I don’t have much to say about the Falz versus VDM issue, by the way. They say he [Falz] is going to court. Lovely. Aside from Falz, Bobrisky and VDM’s case, I feel like anybody defending VDM is not somebody I want to have a conversation with.

“This country makes no sense. People are suffering. People are hungry. Anybody defending this government needs mental evaluation. Anybody defending VDM… We don’t even know what his [VDM’s] achievements are. What’s he trying to achieve? I personally do not know and I will not defend him. When I come across a VDM video, I skip it. When they are talking about the guy, I will continue to skip.”

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana and rapper Falz gave VeryDarkMan a 24-hour ultimatum to retract his publication against them, alleging that they played roles in getting a soft landing for controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, during his jail sentence.

However, VDM released a video denying defaming Femi Falana and his son, rapper Falz.

Following his refusal to retract his publication, Femi Falana’s daughter, Entertainment lawyer and sister to Falz, Folakemi Falana, threatened legal action against VDM.
