Meanwhile, controversial internet personality Very Dark Man has criticized celebrities who supported Bobrisky, questioning the impact of such sponsorships.
On August 25, 2024, Very Dark Man addressed comments on his previous video, challenging the idea that it’s acceptable to sponsor Bobrisky just because it’s their money.
He argued, “Some people think it’s okay to use their money to support someone like Bobrisky, who might influence young people negatively.
If we let people use their money this way, what’s next? Should we allow anyone to sponsor harmful activities just because they can?”
Very Dark Man’s comments come after backlash over his disapproval of celebrities like Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage donating millions of naira to Bobrisky. He expressed concerns about the broader implications of such financial support on society.
