- Seun Kuti and VeryDarkMan have taken action against one another on Instagram in a new drama
- The duo, who had stood against Wizkid over the singer's comments about the late Fela Kuti, appeared to no longer be on good terms
- Seun had spoken highly of activist Sowore, who was recently involved in an exchange with VeryDarkMan online
It appears Nigerian musician Seun Kuti and online critic Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, are no longer on good terms.
The drama began after Seun was accused of taking sides with activist and politician Omoyele Sowore, who stood by Blord amid the businessman's legal dispute with VeryDarkMan.

Seun had stated that Sowore’s actions were not about defending any individual.
In a viral live session, the singer explained that the main issue was the conduct of the Nigerian police, accusing them of allegedly taking sides in disputes involving influential personalities instead of remaining neutral.
Seun Kuti added that the situation goes beyond the individuals involved, stressing that such abuse of power can affect anyone and reflects a wider problem within the system.
Seun's positive comment about Sowore, however, didn't go down well with VeryDarkMan's supporters, with many dragging the singer.

In a response via his Instagram story on Wednesday, April 22, Seun clapped back, referring to VeryDarkMan's supporters as rats.
He wrote,
"You are rats, not ratels, why una dey disguise?"
Also, a look at Seun and VeryDarkMan's official Instagram pages showed that the duo are no longer following each other on the platform.
