Buzzing online activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkman has revealed the alleged reason the Instagram account of blogger, Tunde Ednut got deactivated.
Ednut’s page with over 7.5 million followers was recently taken down by the photo and video-sharing platform, but reasons were not given. This is the fourth time Ednut’s account has been deactivated in three years.
Speaking on the matter, VeryDarkman claimed that Instagram banned the popular blogger’s account because of him.
In a video shared by the activist, he said Ednut’s decision to continuously blog about him and call out certain brands as well as celebrities led to mass reporting of the account and eventual ban.
He captioned; “The truth is Tunde Ednut lost his account because he didn’t stop posting me. You guys will not understand the hate I have been facing since I started talking about a lot of injustice, and everything is just too much. I wasn’t supposed to say it, but it is a fact,I made them report Tunde’s page.”

Nigerian Afropop singer, Yemi Alade recently disclosed that she was redlisted after calling out Black Entertainment Network, BET Award organizers eight years ago.
It may be recalled that in 2015, organizers of the event had fixed the African category hours before the main event and had ordered that winning artists from Africa should be handed over their Awards backstage.
Yemi Alade who was one of the African nominees expressed her displeasure via her Instagram account. She opined that what the event organizers did was shameful and a mockery to the African artistes.
However, a fan with username @jefe_says disagreed with her and gave the credit to Afrobeats superstar, Wizkid.
He tweeted; “Let me rephrase “Thank You Wizkid for fighting for African artistes to be respected. If Wiz didn’t reject BET backstage award that year, it would’ve still been happening”
But in reaction, the singer wrote; “No matter how you want rewrite the past, YOU SIMPLY CANNOT! Selective omission is still false information. I was redlisted and still am for saying the truth… I’m not gifting you with silence today, try tmrw.”
