Nigerian activist Verydarkman has firmly dismissed a viral image linking him to actress Nkechi Blessing’s alleged pregnancy, describing the picture as digitally manufactured and misleading.
The photo, which shows the pair in a romantic setting with Nkechi visibly pregnant, quickly spread across social media. According to Verydarkman, the image was created using artificial intelligence and is nothing more than a ploy to damage his reputation.
He argued that the photo is part of a broader problem of false advertising in Nigeria, especially the misuse of manipulated images to push slimming products. Verydarkman urged the public to treat such content with skepticism, stressing that he has never met the actress in person and could not be responsible for her pregnancy.
The uproar comes just days after a fiery online clash between the two. Nkechi Blessing had faced ridicule after an unflattering gym photo surfaced, sparking a round of jokes about her figure. She responded by taking shots at Verydarkman, who also reminded her of past insults she directed at him.
In response to the viral AI image, Verydarkman called on Nigerians to resist the spread of fake content, emphasizing the importance of protecting one another from online harassment and bullying.
The incident has added a fresh twist to the ongoing feud between the activist and the actress, fueling discussions on the dangers of AI-generated misinformation in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
