The Reason I Ceased Supporting VeryDarkMan - Ruggedman [VIDEO]

Esther

In a recent episode of the Echoo Room podcast, popular Nigerian rapper Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, known professionally as Ruggedman, revealed why he has ceased supporting the controversial activist VeryDarkMan.


Initially, Ruggedman was an advocate for VeryDarkMan's campaign against products lacking NAFDAC numbers, appreciating his efforts to ensure consumer safety.


However, Ruggedman's support waned when VeryDarkMan began delving into people's private lives, particularly targeting women. "I liked VeryDarkMan in the beginning when he started with the whole NAFDAC number thing," Ruggedman explained. "But when he started going personal into people’s private lives, especially with women, that to me, he is just distracting himself."


Ruggedman criticized VeryDarkMan's approach as unprofessional and illogical, drawing attention to a specific incident involving actress Iyabo Ojo and her daughter. "His approach is what I don’t like anymore.


He was calling out people that sell products without a NAFDAC number, that’s amazing but now what do you hear about him? Iyabo Ojo and her daughter kind of thing, that’s why I said it is his approach I’m not okay with," Ruggedman stated.


The rapper also referenced a broader issue within activism, emphasizing the need for ethical boundaries. "It is like saying a policeman took a shooting which was his last resort as the first.


They will tell you but if you’re a professional you are supposed to be used to it. So even if someone says something against you there is a way you should address it. Not your mama, your papa. You don’t catch me doing that but that’s me," he elaborated.
