Media entrepreneur and author Kehinde Ajose has described controversial singer Portable and social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) as chronic clout chasers.
According to her, these individuals manufacture drama for public attention to remain relevant.
Reacting to the ongoing beef between VDM and Portable, Ajose stated that the feud is a calculated strategy for relevance.
“Yes, VDM started on a good note, but most of what he does these days is pure clout chasing.
He understands that attention is currency and deliberately looks for issues that will keep him in the news. The same thing applies to Portable, he is far more popular for being controversial than for his music. They are both chronic clout chasers.
This isn’t about artistic rivalry; it’s a spectacle designed for online engagement. They are masters at creating outrage to stay in the headlines because their brands are built on a foundation of controversy, which is a very volatile and unsustainable model.
“The audience eventually tires of drama without substance. The real challenge for figures like them is to transition from being famous for being controversial to being respected for a tangible skill. Right now, this feud is just noise distracting from any real craft.” She said.
