The Nigerian music industry is reeling after popular comedian, Very Dark Man, took to social media to level serious allegations against rising Afrobeats star Carter Efe. Very Dark Man, known for his witty skits and social commentary, accused Efe of domestic violence against his baby mama. This bombshell revelation has sparked outrage and a much-needed conversation about abuse within the entertainment industry.
The Accusation
Very Dark Man’s post, a video message riddled with emotion, did not mince words. He directly addressed Efe, stating, “I’m disappointed in you, young man. How can you be out here acting all sweet and loving on stage, then go home and beat the mother of your child?”
Very Dark Man claims to have witnessed firsthand the emotional and possibly physical abuse the woman has allegedly endured. Though he doesn’t go into specific details, citing the victim’s privacy, his tone leaves little room for doubt about the seriousness of the accusations.
Industrywide Shock
The Nigerian entertainment scene is abuzz with the news. Carter Efe, who skyrocketed to fame with his hit song “Machala,” has cultivated a clean-cut, family-friendly image. Many fans expressed disbelief and outrage at the allegations.
Celebrities have also weighed in. Some colleagues have voiced their support for Very Dark Man, urging a thorough investigation. Others have remained silent, perhaps wary of taking sides without concrete evidence.
Efe’s Response (or Lack Thereof)
As of now, Carter Efe has not publicly addressed the allegations. This silence is deafening, fueling speculation and angering fans who demand accountability. Efe’s management team has also remained tight-lipped, leaving a void of information that only intensifies the controversy.
A Call to Action
Very Dark Man’s message wasn’t just about Carter Efe. He used the platform to speak out against domestic violence in general. He urged women to “know their worth” and to leave abusive relationships.
This powerful message resonated with many. Social media has been flooded with the hashtag #NoToDomesticViolence, with users sharing stories of their own experiences or messages of support for victims.

- The Power of Social Media: Can social media be a tool for exposing abuse, or does it create a platform for unsubstantiated accusations?
- The Culture of Silence: Why is it so difficult for victims of domestic violence to come forward, especially within the entertainment industry?
- The Role of Fans: How can fans hold celebrities accountable for their actions, both on and off the stage?
A Long Road Ahead
