Dr. Kemi Talks Commentary on VDM at Burna Boy's Warri Concert

Dr. Kemi Talks Speaks Out: No Issue with VDM at Burna Boy’s Warri Show

According to Dr. Kemi Talks, Nigerian journalist and pharmacist Kemi Olunloyo, known for her controversial social media presence and podcasts discussing journalism, lifestyle, celebrity news, and personal experiences.

She has said: If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you might have caught some chatter about VDM (Verydarkblackman) and his appearance at Burna Boy’s recent concert in Warri. Opinions have clashed, fingers have been pointed, and tweets have flown. But as someone who’s spent 25 of my 31 years in the trenches of music journalism, I thought it was high time to weigh in with some clear eyes and honest insight.

So grab a cup of tea and settle in—I’m here to set the record straight about what really went down on that stage and why the uproar we’re seeing is a bit overblown.

A Front-Row Take from Experience

Over the years, I’ve taken my son Rich KJT to countless concerts, festivals, and impromptu shows, weekends filled with music and the electric energy of live performances. When the video of Burna Boy bringing VDM onto the stage in Warri started circulating, Rich and I didn't just scroll past; we watched it closely, multiple times.

Dr. Kemi Talks? Nothing wrong at all. In fact, it was a moment filled with genuine appreciation. The crowd was alive with applause, not the silent “crickets” some bloggers have claimed. If you saw the footage and expected awkward, distant vibes, you’d be mistaken. It felt like a celebration, not a controversy.

VDM: More Than Just Social Media Buzz

VDM isn’t just some background figure hoping for the spotlight. He’s arguably one of Nigeria’s most prominent and beloved celebrities, known for his impactful community work and consistent presence both online and offline. His influence is real, felt across social media platforms and in neighborhoods alike.

To dismiss him, especially in a cultural hub like Warri, misses the bigger picture. Concertgoers in Warri are just like fans anywhere else in Nigeria or around the world—they cheer for their heroes and the moments that bring them together.

The recent critics seem more like harsh VDM haters than genuine commentators. It’s disappointing when some attempt to sour a joyous occasion because they want to drag down a star who’s doing a lot of good.

Ignore the Noise, Celebrate the Good

To everyone who’s part of this conversation or simply a fan of vibrant Nigerian music culture—remember to look beyond the noise. Appreciating moments like Burna Boy’s nod to VDM is about recognizing community, respect, and shared success.

Verydarkblackman, if you’re reading this: keep doing what you do. Your work matters, and your fans know it. The applause in Warri is proof positive.
