Nigeria Luxury vs Legacy: VDM Questions Burna, Wizkid & Davido’s Lavish Lifestyles

Social media critic VeryDarkMan has sparked debate after labelling Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid “useless to Nigerians” over their public display of luxury during economic hardship.

• VDM reacted to Burna Boy’s ₦3.5bn McLaren Senna purchase.
• He accused the Afrobeats stars of flaunting wealth without public benefit.
• “What have fans truly gained from them?” he asked.
• He expressed disappointment in Burna Boy’s shift from activism to affluence.
• Nigerians on social media are divided over VDM’s harsh critique.

VeryDarkMan’s frustration touches a wider nerve in today’s Nigeria, where celebrity wealth often shines brighter than public service. His commentary challenges artists to reflect on influence beyond music. While many defend their right to spend, others echo his call for artists to stay grounded and socially aware. Especially in tough economic times, the tension between personal freedom and public perception grows sharper.

Is VDM out of line or just saying what many feel? As BBNaija, political headlines, and celebrity lifestyles dominate the feeds, Nigerians are increasingly demanding that fame come with responsibility.
