Xenophobic attacks: ‘It’s not happening’ – VDM vows to pull down Tyla’s Lagos show [VIDEO]

Social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, VDM, has asked organizers of South African singer, Tyla’s upcoming concert in Lagos to halt the show immediately.

VDM, who lamented ongoibg xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa, stated in a video he posted on his official Facebook page on Thursday that the concert will not happen.

According to him, the South African singer will not be allowed to profit from Nigerians, whom some South Africans have repeatedly despised.

He said, “There will be no Tyla concert in Nigeria. It is not happening. This is a warning to the organizers and the show promoters bringing Tyla to Nigeria. That show is not happening.

“Not when Chidinma Adetshina is battling deportation in South African court. Now you want to bring in Tyla and sell tickets so that Tyla will make money off Nigerians. The same Nigerians that South Africans hate so much.

“This is a warning to you, if you go ahead with that show, we will come to the venue and we will bring the show down.”

MEDIA TODAY reports that several Nigerians have called for a total boycott of the concert to retaliate the attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

‎This comes on the heels of Tyla’s management releasing her world tour schedule, which includes a performance in Lagos on December 22, 2026.
