Seun Kuti Calls Out VDM, Ratels Over Sowore Support: “I Go Deal With Una Finish”

Seun Kuti has publicly criticized VeryDarkMan (VDM) and his fanbase, the Ratels, over their perceived lack of support and loyalty in his ongoing backing of activist Omoyele Sowore.

Calls out Ratels for cowardice

The Afrobeat star accused the group of failing to stand by their actions and questioned their courage.

“You people that call yourself Ratels, una no reach rats, una small pass rats. That’s why all the nonsense your oga posted, he ran and started deleting it. You people don’t have mind. You guys can never do anything and stand on it,” Kuti said.

Defends loyalty to Sowore

Seun Kuti insisted his allegiance to Sowore is unquestionable, saying he has known the activist far longer than VDM has been alive.

“You said I put Sowore’s face in my house, I put one friend’s face, I didn’t put the other one. Na una give me money to build house? Do you know my relationship with Sowore? I can stand for Sowore at any point in time. I no be una maid,” he added.

Threatens action against detractors

Kuti further warned VDM and the Ratels, claiming he is preparing to respond strongly to their perceived disrespect.

“I go deal with una finish. I don dey prepare am, una go soon hear the news, una go start begging and crying. Even VDM said he came out to fight for me, I didn’t see anywhere he fought for me. He only said don’t insult Fela, insult Seun. What kind of friend will say make people go insult his friend? You all are cowards,” he said.

Tension continues online

The confrontation has sparked widespread debate across social media, with fans and critics divided over Kuti’s strong statements and the role of VDM and the Ratels in Sowore’s support.
