Controversial online personality VeryDarkMan has called out music executive Soso Soberekon, accusing him of disrespect over a recent boxing proposal.
Soso had earlier offered ₦120 million for a match between VeryDarkMan and singer Portable, following the duo’s escalating online feud.
In a video shared on Instagram Sunday evening, VeryDarkMan rejected the offer, claiming it was beneath his value and pointing to past negotiations for a higher-profile fight.
He recounted being approached in 2024 to fight American rapper 50 Cent, an event he said was poised to be “the biggest in Africa.” He alleged that he turned down a $100,000 offer for that fight, demanding $1 million instead.
“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 for 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 also claimed another fight offer came earlier this year after his return from China, but again, the financial terms were not acceptable.
“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.”
He then slammed Soso’s ₦100 million offer as an insult, insisting on a $500,000 upfront payment just to begin discussions.
“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.”
