Gehgeh accuses VDM of threatening Davido over Burna Boy feud online

Gehgeh, a social media personality, accused VeryDarkMan (VDM) of treating Davido as an enemy due to his friendship with Burna Boy, claiming VDM threatened to “wash him down” if Davido speaks on Nigerian politics again. Speaking in a video, Gehgeh said, “VeryDarkMan’s relationship with Burna Boy is making him see Davido as his enemy,” and added that supporting a friend or relative in politics is a choice many Nigerians can make.

He condemned VDM’s reported warning, stating, “That statement is wrong in all ramifications. You’re not more Nigerian than Davido.” Gehgeh argued that Davido had done nothing wrong by backing a candidate, asking, “If my elder brother is competing for any political party, should I leave my brother and support someone I don’t know?” He urged VDM to reconsider his comments, warning that he might later regret ignoring the advice.

The feud highlights how personal alliances among influencers can shape perceptions of political expression in Nigeria. It raises questions about the limits of free speech when public figures use threats to silence opposing views, especially in a polarized political climate.

When influencers leverage their platforms to police political opinions, how should ordinary Nigerians protect open discourse and ensure that political choices remain a personal right?
