Social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM) posted his first video after being fined N500 million for defaming human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, Falz. In the video, VDM appeared unconcerned, displaying defiance and disdain toward the court ruling, igniting mixed reactions across social media platforms.
Social media critic VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM, has made headlines following a court ruling that imposed a hefty fine of N500 million for defaming prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his musician son, Falz. This ruling, which has drawn significant public attention, came after VDM's statements about the Falana family were deemed defamatory and damaging.
In his first video since the ruling, VDM appeared unfazed by the court's decision, presenting a casual demeanor that many interpreted as defiance. He was seen chewing gum loudly, hissing at the camera, and blowing bubbles, actions that seemed to convey his disregard for the legal consequences he faces. The video quickly went viral on social media, attracting mixed reactions from viewers.
Critics have expressed their disappointment at VDM's behavior, interpreting it as a lack of respect for the legal system and the serious implications of defamation. On the other hand, supporters argue that VDM is merely exercising his right to free speech.
