Controversial social commentator VeryDarkMan has sparked widespread reactions after visiting the grave of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti and performing what he described as a symbolic sacrifice.
The act, which took place at Fela’s final resting place, quickly went viral after videos and photos surfaced online. VeryDarkMan explained that the gesture was symbolic and deeply personal, though it immediately triggered intense debate across social media platforms.
While some observers viewed the action as a form of homage to Fela’s revolutionary spirit and legacy, others criticised it as inappropriate and disrespectful, questioning the motive and timing of the act. The incident has once again highlighted the polarising nature of VeryDarkMan’s public persona.
Fela Kuti remains one of Africa’s most revered cultural icons, and activities around his legacy often attract strong emotional responses from fans, critics, and cultural custodians alike.
As discussions continue, the episode has reignited conversations about reverence, symbolism, freedom of expression, and the boundaries of personal activism in public cultural spaces.
