VDM Criticizes Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid Over Billion-Naira Cars Despite Hardship
Controversial social media personality VeryDarkMan has taken aim at music heavyweights Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid over their recent luxury car purchases, calling them out for what he described as insensitivity to the country’s economic struggles.
His reaction came shortly after news broke that Burna Boy acquired a brand-new McLaren Sienna reportedly worth N3.5 billion, making him the first African to own the model. Not long after, Davido also made headlines for purchasing a 2026 Mercedes Maybach SL 680 said to be worth N1.2 billion, while Wizkid had earlier splurged on a N1.7 billion car.
In a viral Instagram video, VeryDarkMan questioned why the artists continued to flaunt their wealth when many Nigerians, including their own fans, are facing hard times. He particularly called out Davido—whom he described as a friend—asking what tangible impact the singer has made in his home state of Osun, especially for young people.
“You guys are not the government, but you’ve benefited so much from this country and from your fans,” he said. “So what have they gained from you? The only time I saw you in Osun was during your uncle’s campaign. Since then, what have you done to uplift the people?” he added.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
