Social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has publicly apologised to human rights activist Omoyele Sowore over earlier comments he made about Sowore’s finances.
In a video shared online, VeryDarkMan admitted that his previous remarks questioning how Sowore funds his child’s education and earns a living were misplaced.
He explained that the comments were based on incomplete information and acknowledged that he should not have made the claims.
The influencer said that after coming across more details online, including discussions about the earnings of Sahara Reporters, he realised that his earlier assumptions were wrong.
Reports suggesting that the platform generates significant monthly revenue and other financial estimates about Sowore contributed to his change of perspective.
According to him, the exchange between both figures was unnecessary and could have been avoided.
He expressed regret over the situation and stated that he no longer sees any reason to question Sowore’s financial capacity.
VeryDarkMan also apologised to his followers, noting that he takes responsibility whenever he makes mistakes and urging others to learn from the situation.
The apology followed several days of online exchanges between the two personalities, which had sparked reactions across social media.
