Verydarkman, a controversial activist, has responded to losing the “Force of Social Good” award to Tunde Onakoya at the Trendupp Awards.
Despite his fans’ strong support, VDM was beaten by Onakoya, a chess master who founded Chess in the Slum and holds a Guinness World Record.
VDM’s supporters are outraged, claiming he was robbed, while critics mock him.
In a video response, Verydarkman shrugged off the loss, emphasizing his passion-driven activism and lack of interest in awards.
He revealed he was unaware of his nomination and is too busy with his activism to attend award ceremonies, showing a nonchalant attitude towards the controversy.
“I don’t need awards to make a difference,” he said. “My focus is on helping those in need, not chasing recognition.” Verydarkman’s response reflects his commitment to his activism, prioritizing impact over accolades.
