- Ossai Ovie Success, addresses social media personality VeryDarkMan.
- He emphasizes the temporary nature of fame and its potential consequences.
- Success advises VDM to use his influence responsibly and wisely.
Ossai Ovie Success, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor and a known public commentator, has offered a cautionary message to controversial social media personality Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM). His advice centers around the fleeting nature of fame and the importance of using influence wisely.
Speaking about VDM’s dedicated fanbase known as Ratels, Ossai drew comparisons to the once-dominant fan movement of singer Naira Marley. He pointed out that while Naira Marley previously enjoyed massive street credibility and a loyal following called the Marlians, things have drastically changed.
In his statement, Ossai said:
“Verydarkblackman is at the top of his game right now, just like Naira Marley once was. Back then, Naira had the streets—he had the youth, the love, and even a loyal fanbase that proudly called themselves Malians. Sound familiar? It’s similar to what VDM has now with his Ratel movement.
But here’s the truth I’ve come to realize in my 40+ years on earth: fame doesn’t last forever. It has an expiry date. What truly matters is what you do with it while you’re hot. That’s what sustains you and your family long after the spotlight fades.
Naira Marley had it all, but the same people who screamed Marlians for life were the same ones who turned their backs on him. Today, many of those former Malians are now shouting Ratel.
So this is a call for VDM to reflect. Use this moment wisely.
Build, grow, and secure a future for yourself and your loved ones—because fans’ loyalty only lasts as long as you’re giving them what they want.”
Ossai’s remarks serve as a reminder to public figures about the unpredictable nature of fame and the importance of long-term planning beyond social media trends.
