Martins Vincent Otse, better known as Verydarkman, has reacted to the criticism he faced over what he wore to the 2025 Headies award.

A video captured the moment Verydarkman was interacting with people at the event. What he wore to the award ceremony was hugely criticised, and he reacted in a new video on social media.
According to him, he didn’t tell anyone that he was a fashion icon, so he was free to wear whatever he wanted to the event. The TikToker, who slammed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission a few days ago, asked if the criticism came because he does not bleach like some other celebrities.
Slamming his haters, he asserted that he does not have a slavery mentality, that was why he didn’t wear Prada or any foreign brand to the event.

His recording also captured the moment he explained why he wore such kind of dress to the event. He disclosed that he doesn’t wear clothes but singlets and added that he went to buy an expensive lace material which he made to what he wore for the ceremony.
Speaking further, Verydarkman noted that the purpose of going for the ceremony was because he was part of the people, who clamoured that the award should be brought back to Nigeria.

In the video, he pointed out that it would not be good for him to shun the ceremony after speaking about hosting the award in Nigeria.
VDM brags about his reception
Bragging about the kind of reception he got at the event, Verydarkman noted that “ratel choke 100%” at the program. He warned that he was not dragging being called a celebrity with anyone.
The social media activist also noted that he knows his status and many people do as well. He added that he saw a lot of people but choose not to greet a lot of them at the ceremony.
He also affirmed that he didn’t stay for more than 30 minutes at the ceremony, as he didn’t witness any of the awards given to anyone.
