Nigerian social activist and online personality, Verydarkman, has publicly dismissed a viral image suggesting he is responsible for actress Nkechi Blessing’s alleged pregnancy, describing the content as entirely fabricated.
According to Verydarkman, the photo circulating widely on social media is an artificially generated image designed to mislead the public and tarnish his reputation. He emphasized that he has never met the actress in his life and has no involvement in her personal affairs.
He further explained that the image appears to be part of a larger trend of digitally manipulated content, often associated with misleading advertisements for slimming products. He warned the public to be cautious about online scams and false narratives, urging Nigerians to verify information before accepting it as truth.
Background: Nkechi Blessing and Verydarkman’s online dispute
The viral image comes shortly after a public spat between Verydarkman and Nkechi Blessing on social media. Their exchange of insults and controversial remarks drew widespread attention from fans and online users, reigniting discussions about celebrity interactions on the internet.
The feud began after a photo of Nkechi Blessing at the gym circulated online, prompting several individuals to make disparaging jokes about her body. Verydarkman had previously responded to the situation, recalling past incidents where the actress allegedly directed unkind words toward him, thus escalating tensions between the two parties.
AI-generated image sparks controversy
In the latest twist, Verydarkman shared an AI-generated image of himself and Nkechi Blessing appearing affectionate, with the actress visibly pregnant in the picture. He was quick to clarify that the image is completely fake and that he bears no responsibility for any pregnancy attributed to her in the photo.
He addressed the controversy in a public statement, saying:
“I will like to address this picture going viral, fellow Nigerians. I am not the man responsible for her pregnancy if she is; I have never met her in my life and I am sure I won’t be willing to meet her ever. Please disregard this picture because it is a fake picture intended to tarnish my reputation. I am certain this is AI… Also, in my humble opinion, I think it is the combination of different slimming products that is in that belle… THANK YOU ALL, HAVE A LOVELY SUNDAY, AND SAY NO TO FALSE ADVERTISING IN NIGERIA (PROTECT ONE ANOTHER). SAY NO TO BULLYING TOO. #RATELMOVEMENT”
The post has since sparked conversations online about the growing use of AI to manipulate public perception, with many users expressing support for Verydarkman while others discuss the dangers of fake content on social media.
