Outspoken social commentator, VeryDarkMan, has taken to social media to express his frustration over what he describes as the “insensitive display of luxury” by Nigerian music superstars Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid, accusing them of doing little to uplift the communities that built them.

In a fiery video now making waves online, VeryDarkMan reacted to the recent reports of Burna Boy acquiring a car worth $2.2 million (₦3.3 billion) and Davido purchasing another luxury vehicle said to cost over ₦1 billion.

“This is not just about buying cars,” he said, “it’s about the deliberate display of wealth in the face of a broken country, where millions of youths are unemployed, depressed, and hopeless.”

He challenged each of the artists, asking what tangible contribution they’ve made to their home states and Nigeria at large:

“Davido, Osun State is where you’re from. Apart from showing up during your uncle’s campaign, what have you done for the youths there? What can you boldly point to that has changed lives on a large scale?”

Turning to Burna Boy, he reminded the Grammy-winning artist of his activist roots:

“Burna Boy, you used to speak up against the government. Now all we see is you buying cars, showing off on social media. What has Port Harcourt, or the Niger Delta benefited from your success?”

Even Wizkid wasn’t spared:

“Wizkid came from Surulere. What can Surulere people say they’ve gained from your rise? These communities made you who you are.”

VeryDarkMan emphasized that while the celebrities are not in government, they are public figures with influence, and their actions matter:

“People look up to you. When you post these things online, you’re not just showing off — you’re crushing hopes. You’re reminding people of what they don’t have.”

He also dismissed token charity gestures like Davido’s periodic donations to orphanages:

“Giving to orphanages is good, but that’s not empowerment. It’s time to build something that creates jobs, opportunities, and hope.”

VeryDarkMan’s message resonated with thousands who share concerns about the growing gap between celebrity affluence and the harsh reality of everyday Nigerians.

“This country is bleeding. Youths are suffering. And what we see from our biggest stars is a competition of who bought the most expensive car.”

As reactions pour in across social media, his video is igniting conversations about the responsibility of celebrities in shaping society, and whether wealth without community impact should still be celebrated.

Whether his words will spark real change or simply fade in the next news cycle remains to be seen but one thing is certain: VeryDarkMan has sparked a national debate that’s long overdue.
