Nigerian singer Seun Kuti, widely recognized for his outspoken views and commitment to social justice, recently expressed his admiration for the prominent activist VeryDarkMan during an insightful interview. Kuti emphasized his deep respect for what VDM represents and the impactful work he does, which, according to him, is unparalleled.
In the interview, the Grammy Award-winning artist elaborated on why he supports VDM, stating that the activist’s ability to confront societal issues with such boldness is something he finds commendable. Seun Kuti acknowledged that, as a musician, he cannot replicate what VDM does without facing backlash or being labeled as a detractor, especially since many within the music industry tend to exploit others.
Kuti further explained that he deliberately distances himself from personal disputes within the entertainment industry, preferring instead to channel his energy towards national issues that can drive the country forward. He highlighted VDM's significant role in addressing serious concerns, particularly those involving the exploitation and abuse of women by certain celebrities, noting that VDM’s fearless advocacy has instilled fear in many of these public figures.
Furthermore, Seun Kuti advised VeryDarkMan to consider expanding the scope of his activism by politicizing his efforts. Kuti believes that by doing so, VDM could extend his influence and bring about positive change even for those who may not align with his views.
In conclusion, Seun Kuti’s recognition of VeryDarkMan’s contributions underscores the activist’s importance in Nigeria’s socio-political landscape. His words serve as a testament to the profound impact that VDM has had, particularly in advocating for the rights and protection of women.
