Seun Kuti on VeryDarkMan
According to Seun, he had offered VeryDarkMan genuine brotherly affection before the relationship deteriorated.
He described his general outlook as one rooted in goodwill towards others, but drew a firm line when it came to those who had wronged him directly.
Referencing his song Adara, Seun explained that his music carries a message of extending kindness and wanting good things for the people around him. However, he was quick to distinguish that philosophy from naive forgiveness.
"I wish everybody well, whether you don't fight with me or you never fight," he said during the interview. "The only people I don't wish well..." — leaving the implication unmistakable.
He also made a pointed comparison to Nigerian politicians, stressing that unlike those in power who use their positions to punish enemies, he would never deliberately set out to make someone suffer.
Yet, in the same breath, he maintained that someone who has actively worked against him cannot simply expect to coast on his goodwill.
"He ate my pepper and my salt"
The moment that set the internet ablaze was Seun's raw declaration that VeryDarkMan had consumed both his "pepper and salt", a vivid Nigerian expression for someone who has taken advantage of generosity and loyalty, leaving nothing behind.

He said he was not in a good place regarding their relationship and saw no path to reconciliation, adding that there was simply nothing left to forgive because the breach of trust ran too deep.
