Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has responded to allegations linking him to the ongoing dispute between social media personalities VeryDarkMan and King Mitchy.
He described the claims as false.
Tinubu, in a statement released on Saturday, said he only met King Mitchy once in a public setting where he supported her non-governmental organisation as part of his philanthropic work.
According to him, “I met Mitchy once, in a public setting, alongside others. On that occasion, I provided financial support toward her NGO activities, just as I have supported many young Nigerians and organisations working to empower our people.
“There has never been a private encounter, no secret arrangement, and no impropriety of any kind.”
He explained that a planned follow-up meeting to review the impact of the donation did not take place because he had been unwell.
Tinubu denied claims of any secret relationship or improper dealings with the content creator.
He also accused social media activist VeryDarkMan of dragging his name into a dispute he had no involvement in.
“What is deeply concerning is that a feud I did not start, and in which I have played no part, has been used as a vehicle to insert my name into a narrative without basis in truth.
“I will not be bullied, and I will not dignify fiction with panic,” he said.
Tinubu insisted he would not be intimidated by what he described as false allegations.
He reaffirmed his commitment to philanthropic activities and urged Nigerians to promote responsible public discourse, adding that supporting charitable causes should not be politicised.
