Lagos, Nigeria – October 13, 2025 – In a fiery online exchange that’s lighting up social media on Seyi Tinubu’s 40th birthday, popular Nollywood actor and matchmaker Adams Kehinde, better known as Lege Miami, has unleashed a scathing rebuke against controversial activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) for mocking the presidential son’s plan to distribute Bibles as a charitable gesture. The clapback, delivered in a no-holds-barred video, defends Tinubu’s personal choices while accusing VDM of selective outrage and self-sabotage.
The drama ignited when VDM, real name Martins Vincent Otse, shared a viral clip ridiculing the initiative, questioning its sincerity amid Nigeria’s economic woes. “Distributing Bibles on your birthday while people can’t afford food? Classic deflection,” VDM quipped in his post, which quickly racked up thousands of reactions and reignited debates on celebrity philanthropy versus political accountability. As a self-proclaimed voice for the masses, VDM has built a following of over 339,000 on X by calling out perceived elite hypocrisy, but this latest jab drew swift backlash from Tinubu loyalists.
Lege Miami, a longtime ally and self-described “bestie” to Seyi Tinubu, wasted no time firing back. In a blistering Instagram video viewed over 200,000 times within hours, the 35-year-old entertainer slammed VDM for overstepping. “Did Seyi Tinubu ever tell you his religion? What gives you the right to judge how he celebrates his day?” Lege fumed, emphasizing personal freedom in faith-based giving. He escalated the roast by shading VDM’s activism: “You’re not the only one benefiting from Seyi or the President, but while others eat their share in peace, you disgrace yourself online daily. Oga oooo – be a real activist! Tinubu didn’t cause the rain!”
The response ties into Lege’s ongoing defense of the Tinubu family, a stance that’s earned him both fans and foes. Earlier this year, he clashed with VDM over unrelated critiques of Seyi’s influence, even submitting 500 youth CVs to the federal government via the birthday boy as proof of his advocacy work. This latest feud, however, feels personal, with Lege warning that VDM’s “hot takes” risk alienating the very support networks that amplify his voice.
Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, marked his milestone birthday today with announcements of the Bible distribution drive, aiming to donate thousands of copies to churches and communities nationwide. The move, framed as a nod to spiritual reflection, has polarized opinions: supporters hail it as genuine benevolence, while critics like VDM see it as tone-deaf amid soaring inflation and youth unemployment.
Social media erupted, with #LegeVsVDM and #SeyiBirthdayBible trending on X. Fans of Lege flooded comments with praise – “Lege said finish him! VDM stay in your lane” – while VDM’s die-hards fired salvos: “Activism isn’t popularity contest; call out the optics!” Neutral observers urged de-escalation, pointing to Nigeria’s tense socio-political climate where celebrity beefs often mask deeper frustrations.
As the dust settles, this spat underscores the high-stakes tightrope influencers walk in polarized Nigeria: one man’s charity is another’s PR stunt. Lege Miami, ever the provocateur, signed off with a mic-drop challenge: “Criticize without dragging the family – or stay quiet.” With VDM yet to respond, all eyes are on whether this birthday beef will fizzle or flare into full-blown war. For now, Seyi’s Bibles keep rolling out, a quiet testament to faith in the face of frenzy.
