Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, has refuted claims that he is involved in the ongoing online conflict between content producer King Mitchy and controversial activist VeryDarkMan.
According to reports, King Mitchy recently used Seyi Tinubu’s financial support to refurbish a public school in six days. Later, she got into a heated online dispute with VeryDarkMan over claims that she had neglected to report public donations that she had received since 2025.
In response, VeryDarkMan intensified the dispute by accusing Seyi Tinubu of funding Mitchy’s charitable endeavors.
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 a series of posts on his Instagram profile, Seyi Tinubu responded, calling the accusations and implication made against him “false” and stating that the only time he ever spoke with King Mitchy was in public, when he provided funding for her non-governmental organization, or NGO.
He added, “My name has been purposefully included in an online dispute between VeryDarkMan (VDM) and King_Mitchy (‘Mitchy’) over the past few days.”
“Let me be clear: the accusations and suggestions made about me are untrue.”
Seyi Tinubu clarified that as part of his larger support for youth empowerment projects around Nigeria, he met Mitchy once along with others and gave financial support 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.
“No secret arrangement, no private encounter, and no impropriety of any kind have ever occurred,” he said.
The president’s son was worried that his reputation was being damaged by a quarrel that he neither started nor took part in.
He added that VeryDarkMan “seems to have been searching 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 cyberbullying and harassment, cautioning that such attacks may have detrimental effects on mental health.
He wrote, “I will not be intimidated, and I will not use fear to elevate fiction.” “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 politicized or weaponized.” “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 subside. Work and character survive. I’m still dedicated to providing honest and open service to Nigerians, particularly our young people,” he said.
