Controversial activist and social media personality, VeryDarkMan, has slammed music executive Soso Soberekon over what he described as a “disrespectful” boxing match proposal involving him and street-hop singer Portable.
The drama began after Soso publicly offered a whopping ₦120 million for a potential celebrity boxing bout between Portable and VeryDarkMan, amid their ongoing social media feud.
However, reacting in a video posted on his Instagram page Sunday evening, VeryDarkMan dismissed the offer, calling it insulting and far below his perceived value.
“Alright, so make I quickly respond to Soso Soberekon for this disrespect. What I’m about to say now, you confirm it from Tunde Ednut because my phone is with EFCC. So last year I was supposed to have the biggest event in Africa.
It was a fight between myself and 50 Cent. You can confirm from the president of the boxing federation, Omo-Agege. Tunde Ednut was following the process but it didn’t work from my side. First thing, 50 Cent was requesting 2 million dollars upfront from his complete payment of 5 million dollars. They now said they want to pay me 100,000 dollars, and I said no it won’t work. I said if 50 Cent is going to take 5 million dollars then I will collect 1 million dollars,” he narrated.
The activist further claimed that he had turned down another fight deal earlier in the year after returning from China, saying the financial offer again did not match his worth.
“Early this year again after I came back from China, they brought another offer but the money wey them still they talk no dey reasonable. So, you see where the level dey? It didn’t work because I’m not going to take one kind low thing to go and be on the ring, I know my worth.”
Referring back to Soso Soberekon’s recent ₦120 million offer for the proposed Portable match, VeryDarkMan didn’t mince words:
“Now, let’s go back to Soso Berekon. It is disrespectful to say you won carry me now go fight for as low as N100 million. Do you know how much I don take do charity this period? What is N100 million? If you want to insult me, just tell me waka.
N100 million cannot even buy you a good house in Abuja. Soso you are very very disrespectful, forget about age. So, if you want me to fight, you go bring 500,000 dollar first before I can sit together with you to discuss the balance, but I doubt if you get that kind of money. If dem dey respect you respect yourself Soso. If you don’t have that money I talk please don’t put my name on your page again.”
With his latest outburst, VeryDarkMan has made it clear he won’t be stepping into the ring unless the money on the table reflects what he believes he’s worth and clearly, ₦120 million doesn’t cut it.
