In response, VeryDarkMan escalated the dispute by accusing Seyi Tinubu of funding Mitchy’s charitable endeavours. President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has denied allegations linking him to the ongoing online conflict between content producer King Mitchy and campaigner VeryDarkMan
With financial support from Seyi Tinubu, King Mitchy recently renovated a public school in six days. Later, she got involved in an online dispute with VeryDarkMan over claims that she hadn’t kept track of payments from the public since 2025.
In response, VeryDarkMan intensified the dispute by accusing Seyi Tinubu of funding Mitchy’s charitable endeavours.Additionally, the activist urged the public to hold Mitchy and Seyi Tinubu responsible if anything were to happen to him in a recent video that was uploaded to his Instagram page.
In response, Seyi Tinubu clarified that his only interaction with King Mitchy was in a public context when he offered financial support for her non-governmental organization (NGO) and called the accusations and insinuations made about him “false” in a series of postings posted on his Instagram profile.
“My name has been purposefully brought into an online dispute between VeryDarkMan (VDM) and King_Mitchy (‘Mitchy’) over the past few days,” he said. “Let me be clear: the accusations and suggestions made about me are untrue.
” As part of his larger support for youth empowerment programs around Nigeria, Seyi Tinubu clarified that he met Mitchy once, along with others, and gave her cash aid for her NGO activities.
He claims that a follow-up meeting was planned to get information on the donation’s impact, but it was postponed because of his health. “There has never been any impropriety of any kind, no secret arrangement, no private encounter,” he declared.
The president’s son voiced worry that his reputation was being damaged by a conflict that he neither started nor took part in. Additionally, he claimed that VeryDarkMan “appears to have been looking for a trigger” to attack him and took advantage of the circumstance. “Let’s at least deal with the facts if my name attracts attention. It is not illegal to support charitable causes. It is not a scandal to meet someone in public to help their NGO.
Loudly repeating lies does not make them true, he continued. Seyi Tinubu also denounced what he called online harassment and bullying, cautioning that such attacks could have detrimental effects on mental health. He wrote, “I will not be bullied, and I will not dignify fiction with panic.” “No argument should turn into harassment that puts someone’s safety or well-being at risk.” He reiterated his dedication to generosity, pointing out that he has supported programs in education, business, healthcare, and youth empowerment for more than ten years through his foundation and personal contributions.
He declared, “Outreach and philanthropy must never be politicised or weaponised.” “Builders, not bullies, are what Nigeria needs.” Instead of sensationalism motivated by conjecture, we require responsible discourse. Rejecting the charges, he urged moderation, de-escalation, and a return to “truth and responsibility.” “The noise will go away.
Work and character survive. I’m still dedicated to providing honest and open service to Nigerians, particularly our young people,” he said in closing.
