VDM vs King Mitchy: I’ll Not Dignify Fiction With Panic But Don’t Pull Me Into Their Social Media Spat-Seyi Tinubu

Son of President Bola Tinubu, Mr Seyi Tinubu has urged Nigerians especially social media users not to pull him into the ongoing social media spat involving an activist, Martins Vincent Otse aka VeryDarkMan and a content creator, King Mitchy.

VeryDarkMan had taken King Mitchy up after she renovated a public school within six days while accusing her of failing to account for public donations received since 2025.

King Mitchy had received financial support from Mr Seyi Tinubu for the school renovation project and VeryDarkMan had consequently submitted that the president’s son has been the one providing funds for King Mitchy’s charity efforts and in an Instagram post he had asked the public to hold Mr Seyi Tinubu and the content creator responsible in the event that anything happens to him.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Mr Seyi Tinubu has responded to the allegations raised by VeryDarkMan while urging Nigerians to keep him out of the social media spat.

‘Over the past few days, my name has been deliberately drawn into an online dispute between VeryDarkMan (VDM) and King_Mitchy (‘Mitchy’).

Let me be clear: the allegations and insinuations made about me are false.

 There has never been a private encounter, no secret arrangement, and no impropriety of any kind.

If my name generates attention, let us at least deal in facts. Supporting charitable causes is not a crime. Meeting someone publicly to support their NGO is not a scandal. Repeating falsehoods loudly does not transform them into truth’ he said.

Mr Seyi Tinubu also condemned the social media bullying while noting that he will not dignify fiction with panic.

‘I will not be bullied, and I will not dignify fiction with panic. No disagreement should descend into harassment that risks someone’s wellbeing or safety.

 Philanthropy and outreach must never be politicized or weaponised. Nigeria needs builders, not bullies. We need responsible discourse, not sensationalism driven by speculation’ he added.

While describing allegations against him as untrue, he also urged restraint, de-escalation, and a return to ‘truth and responsibility’.

‘Noise will fade. Character and work endure. I remain committed to serving Nigerians, especially our youth, with integrity and transparency’ he added–Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
