The ongoing social media feud involving Afrobeats superstar Wizkid and Seun Kuti over legacy and comparisons with Fela Kuti has taken a new turn, with online commentator Izzy Ogbeide stepping into the fray. In a fiery video, Ogbeide roasted popular critic Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, for his persistent targeting of Wizkid and even dragged his parents into the drama.
Why Wizkid Won't Reply to VeryDarkMan
According to Izzy Ogbeide, Wizkid has remained silent despite VeryDarkMan producing "over 100 videos" criticizing him because the critic lacks a comparable legacy. In her scathing remarks, she questioned VeryDarkMan's father's legacy, implying this is why the superstar ignores him.
"Which one VeryDarkMan dey do 100 videos on top Wizkid, I no understand, e go drag comment come dey use am talk to Wizkid. Wizkid no go mind you o. Na who get papa and get legacy Wizkid dey reply. Your papa get legacy?" she asked in the video.
She further taunted in a caption: "VDMCC, you get papa wey Big Wizkid fit tattoo for him hand?"
Background of the Feud
This drama stems from VeryDarkMan's reaction to the ongoing dispute between Seun Kuti and Wizkid, where he warned Wizkid not to disrespect Fela Kuti. VeryDarkMan challenged Wizkid's fans, calling them "keypad warriors" and claiming they wouldn't stand up for the nation, leading to a heated back-and-forth online.
Despite the call-out, Wizkid has maintained his silence, fueling further commentary from figures like Izzy Ogbeide.
Social Media Reactions
The video of Izzy Ogbeide roasting VeryDarkMan sparked diverse reactions from netizens:
- dsexyhunter said: "Wizkid will dare not reply because he doesn't want to spoil his legacy."

VeryDarkMan's Previous Controversies
This isn't VeryDarkMan's first involvement in online drama. He previously taunted Pastor Chris Okafor in a reaction video, shedding fake tears and sharing alleged chats to counter the cleric's claims during his case with Doris Ogala.
The feud highlights the intense and often personal nature of celebrity conflicts on social media, with commentators like Izzy Ogbeide adding fuel to the fire by involving family members and questioning legacies.
