A video captured the moment Verydarkman was interacting with people at the event. What he wore to the award ceremony was hugely criticised, and he reacted in a new video on social media.

According to him, he didn't tell anyone that he was a fashion icon, so he was free to wear whatever he wanted to the event. The TikToker, who slammed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission a few days ago, asked if the criticism came because he does not bleach like some other celebrities.
