Controversial influencer VeryDarkMan has publicly criticised content creator King Mitchy over her viral exchange with the Ooni of Ife.
The fresh tension comes amid their ongoing dispute, which began after King Mitchy called him out over the delay in using NGO funds donated by Nigerians for school renovation projects. She had referenced her own experience renovating a school within six days and urged him to take similar action.
VeryDarkMan reacts to Mitchy’s chat with Ooni
Recently, King Mitchy shared what she claimed was a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation showing the Ooni of Ife messaging her and placing several missed calls. The post quickly went viral and drew mixed reactions online.
Responding via his Instagram page, VeryDarkMan analysed the chat and expressed disappointment over what he perceived as a lack of deference to the respected monarch. He suggested that her tone in the messages did not reflect the level of regard typically accorded to a traditional ruler of such status.
He further remarked that if she could appear casual in her interaction with the Ooni, she would likely not hold him in high regard either.
In his words:
“I just dey think am now. If I see Ooni of Ife, I will now down to greet him. Meanwhile, him dey bow to Mitchy for WhatsApp. Abi na because say ‘King’ dey her name. But na Instagram throne she get now. A whole Ooni of Ife. I’m disappointed. See missed calls, and him dey even remind her. See as she commonize am say na ‘even this king’. I’ve seen it all. She can never regard me. Abi make I put King president of Ratel. Shout out to the Alaafin of Oyo.”
His comments have since fueled further debate online, with supporters on both sides weighing in on issues of respect, hierarchy, and the growing culture of social media influence.
