Social media critic and influencer VeryDarkMan has issued a stern warning to singer Davido and socialite Cubana ChiefPriest, threatening to cut ties with them if they publicly campaign for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of Nigeria's 2027 general elections.
The threat comes in response to the duo's recent visit to the presidency, which has raised eyebrows among their followers and political observers.
In a video message shared on his Instagram page, VeryDarkMan, who maintains a close relationship with Davido and was among the select influencers invited to the singer's wedding with Chioma in June 2024, made his position clear.
"I don't have a problem with who anyone chooses to support politically. The only way I will have a problem with Davido, Chiefpriest, or any influencer is if they start publicly campaigning for APC or any political party come 2027. I will stand against you," he stated.
The social media critic, who has been vocal in his criticism of the current APC administration, emphasized that celebrities should not use their influence to sway voters' decisions based on financial incentives they might receive from politicians.
"Let the people decide. Don't deceive them to vote for the wrong politicians because of the love they have for you after you have been bought over with money... Any politician that wants the people to support him should speak for himself," VeryDarkMan added.
He further stressed that politicians should communicate their plans directly to the electorate rather than relying on celebrity endorsements to gain support.
"If any celebrity campaigns for any politician, I will come for that celebrity. Let the suffering masses decide. They know best," he warned, adding that voters should make their own choices based on their assessment of the current administration or alternatives.
This declaration comes amid growing political activities as various parties begin positioning themselves for the 2027 elections, with the APC recently endorsing President Tinubu for a second term, a move that has generated mixed reactions across the country.
Neither Davido nor Cubana ChiefPriest has publicly responded to VeryDarkMan's comments as of the time of this report.
