Content creator and activist VeryDarkMan has publicly criticized dancer Lil Smart after it was revealed that he fabricated claims of violence against him by musicians Naira Marley and Zinoleesky.
The controversy began when Lil Smart alleged maltreatment by the artists, prompting VeryDarkMan to support him by transferring ₦1 million for legal actions to seek justice. However, Lil Smart failed to appear in court or pursue the lawsuit, raising suspicions about the authenticity of his claims.
In a recent development, Lil Smart’s lawyer issued an apology to Naira Marley and Zinoleesky. The legal document, which outlined proposed terms for resolving the dispute, included a promise from Lil Smart to issue a public apology via his verified social media accounts. The lawyer emphasized the importance of amicable resolution and requested that Naira Marley and Zinoleesky refrain from pursuing legal actions against Lil Smart.
VeryDarkMan expressed disappointment in a video, accusing Lil Smart of exploiting the situation for personal gain. He condemned Lil Smart for using the ₦1 million donation to amplify false accusations instead of pursuing justice. VeryDarkMan further urged Nigerians to petition the judiciary to punish Lil Smart for making false allegations.
He also called on Naira Marley and Zinoleesky not to forgive Lil Smart, insisting they should take legal action to set a precedent and prevent similar incidents in the future. According to VeryDarkMan, failing to act would make them complicit in enabling such behavior.
The scandal has sparked widespread criticism of Lil Smart, with many Nigerians questioning his credibility and motives.
