The dispute traces back to King Mitchy’s high-profile renovation of a public school in just six days, a project partly funded by Seyi Tinubu. The content creator later found herself at the centre of a social media storm after VDM accused her of failing to account for public donations she had received since 2025. VDM subsequently dragged Tinubu into the controversy, accusing him of backing Mitchy’s charity work and warning the public to hold both of them responsible if anything were to happen to him.
In a pointed response shared on Instagram on Saturday, Tinubu said his name had been “deliberately drawn” into a quarrel he had no part in. He maintained that his only interaction with King Mitchy was a single, public encounter during which he made a financial contribution to her non-governmental organisation as part of his broader youth empowerment efforts across Nigeria. A planned follow-up meeting to assess the donation’s impact never happened, he said, due to illness.
Tinubu accused VDM of using the situation as a pretext to attack him, suggesting the activist had been “looking for a trigger” all along. He also condemned what he called online bullying, warning that sustained harassment carries real mental health consequences — though he made clear he would not be intimidated.
