Isaac Fayose Sends Strong Message to VeryDarkMan, King Mitchy Amid Feud
- Isaac Fayose has called on social media critic VeryDarkMan and content creator King Mitchy to leave the Ooni of Ife out of their feud
- This came amid the exchanges between VDM and the content creator, which brought about the leaked WhatsApp conversations allegedly involving the monarch
- Fayose emphasised that the Ooni's royal status prevents him from engaging in low-level social media conflicts, warning that involving him in personal battles undermines Yoruba customs
Prominent commentator Isaac Fayose has stepped into the ongoing feud between social media activists VeryDarkMan and content creator King Mitchy, urging them to leave the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, out of their dispute.
The online exchanges after King Mitchy dragged Verydarkman over his comments about her school renovation projects.

Reacting to this, VeryDarkMan alleged that Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s president, had been funding the influencer since 2023.
He also made controversial claims about Mitchy’s alleged conduct with Seyi Tinubu, accusing her of inappropriate behaviour and suggesting that she was “licking lollipop.”
King Mitchy also released private WhatsApp conversations where the Ooni allegedly commended her philanthropic efforts.
The monarch later dismissed the messages as fake and fabricated, distancing himself from the controversy entirely.
Fayose reacted through a video posted on his Instagram page, stating that the Ooni of Ife represents the highest authority in Yoruba culture and should not be dragged into unverified online battles.
He explained that the phone number shared in the feud did not belong to the monarch, pointing out that a king with multiple queens would never engage in such petty exchanges.
Fayose added that just as he would never involve northern or Edo monarchs in similar disputes, Yoruba tradition demands that the Ooni be treated with utmost respect.
Isaac Fayose said in part:
"In all this crossfire, please remove our king. In Yoruba land, we respect our king. Ojaja is our number one. I’ll not go to the North or Edo to mention their king. The number King Mitchy is posting is fake. Ooni of Ife has Queens. Ojaja can’t stoop so low. Let us be guided in this crossfire."

Isaac Fayose blasts Seyi Law over security claims
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Isaac Fayose criticised comedian Seyi Law over his claims that Nigeria is now safer, pointing to fresh kidnappings in Ondo State as proof that insecurity remains.
On 25 February 2026, armed men stormed the Celestial Church of Christ in Uso, Owo Local Government Area, during a late-night service and abducted at least six worshippers.
Isaac reacted to the incident, labelling Seyi Law a failed comedian, while noting that the situation contradicted his earlier claim that Nigeria is safer.
