Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has openly challenged Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo amid their public feud concerning the controversial online figure VeryDarkMan (VDM). The conflict escalated after Iyabo Ojo's disparaging remarks about VDM’s mother and her actions against VDM for alleged cyberbullying.

In a video posted on Instagram, Seun Kuti refuted claims that he supports VDM's disruptive behavior but criticized Ojo for advocating arrests in online disputes. Kuti labeled Ojo as an oppressor for using police authority to handle matters of free expression, stressing that he does not condone VDM’s actions but firmly opposes the use of law enforcement to stifle free speech.

Seun Kuti's bold stance highlights the ongoing tensions over the boundaries of online speech and the appropriate use of legal actions within Nigeria's entertainment industry. This controversy underscores the broader debate about freedom of expression, the role of public figures in setting examples, and the use of authority to address online conflicts.

As the situation continues to develop, it raises important questions about how online behavior should be regulated and the responsibilities of celebrities in navigating and influencing public discourse. The entertainment community and fans alike are keenly watching to see how this feud will unfold and what implications it might have for the broader conversation about free speech and legal recourse in the digital age.
