Blessing Okoro admits leveraging controversy for relevance, but clarifies absence of personal animosity towards VeryDarkMan

Blessing stated that she had no personal difficulties with internet activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkman, and was merely expressing her ideas.

Blessing Okoro, a Nigerian relationship advisor known as Blessing CEO, has stated that controversy is a strategy for her.

The 33-year-old Influencer added that she is a very spontaneous person, thus she never runs out of content or ideas for how to trend on social media.

Blessing made the remark during an interview with Saturday Beats, where she also discussed a tattoo artist who called her out on her debt.

She said; “Controversy is a strategy for me but I do not chase clout. People often use my name to trend. I have never sat to think about what I would do to trend. I am a very spontaneous person.”

The self-proclaimed marriage therapist went on to say that she refused to pay the tattoo artist simply known as Inkmetatttoo since he traveled out to meet her in Enugu from Lagos despite her instructions not to.

Blessing said; “I told him (tattoo artist) not to come to Enugu when he told me he was in Lagos because I could not bear the cost. He booked a flight without informing me and only sent evidence while at the airport. He also left without completing the tattoos. I continuously asked him the cost, but he did not respond until two days later when he told me the tattoo cost N250,000, while his flight ticket cost N252,000.

“While speaking to the person who connected me to him, the tattooist said he was going to drag me on social media and I said, ‘Game on’. The truth is I won’t pay him a dime again.”

Blessing stated that she had no personal difficulties with internet activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkman, and was merely expressing her ideas.

The IG influencer said; “I don’t have any personal beef with Very Dark Black Man, I am just airing my opinions. He is fond of making defamatory posts against women. So, when I saw him, I decided to make a video of him, because he was looking very dirty. Many people said I was broke-shaming him, but that is not the case. When one says one’s opinions, it will look as if one is a hater. Why doesn’t he drag the likes of Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy?”
