A new video featuring Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede and controversial activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has sparked a flurry of reactions online. The duo was seen together at Burna Boy’s 34th birthday celebration, which took place on July 2, 2024.
The viral clip captured several cozy moments between the actress, who is a single mother, and VDM. In the video, Yvonne Jegede was seen warmly embracing the activist, even going as far as placing his head on her chest during a hug — a gesture that quickly drew attention.
Their chemistry during the brief exchange left many netizens surprised, especially considering VDM’s polarizing reputation on social media. While he is often criticized — particularly by women — for his blunt takes and controversial opinions, the video painted a different picture of how he is received in person.
Following the warm embrace, the two were spotted chatting closely before stepping out of the venue together, with the video ending shortly afterward.
The unexpected moment between the actress and the activist has since led to a wave of mixed reactions, with fans debating the authenticity and implications of their interaction.
