Nigerian artist Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy, has made a significant financial contribution to social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, popularly called VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The news emerged after VDM posted a video on his Instagram, where he confirmed that Burna Boy donated ₦150 million to his non-governmental organization, the Martins Vincent Otse Initiative.
In the video, VDM also shared bank receipts as evidence of the transaction.
The documents revealed that the funds were transferred from Burna Boy’s brand company, Spaceship Collective, to the NGO’s account at Zenith Bank.
With this ₦150 million donation, Burna Boy has exceeded Don Jazzy’s widely noted ₦100 million contribution from October 2024.
This latest donation adds to Burna Boy’s previous support, which reportedly included $145,000 given to VDM in December 2025.
VDM explained that the funds would be used to assist with the release of incarcerated individuals and to cover medical expenses for underprivileged Nigerians.

@AnnieSaliss:”God bless the Burna boy! More rich Nigerians should do same. Martins Vincent Otse Initiative is the only trusted NGO you can invest your money, and I say this with all conviction.”
@timelezzx”I have a question though. Will he be able to call out people that make this level of donation to the NGO out if he finds himself in a situation to call them out?”
@mr_chiboi:”Whether you like Burna or not, this is heavy. ₦140m to an NGO is impact, not noise. Now the real conversation is accountability and what this money turns into for people on ground.”
@TeegeeAmore”Burna boy is one of the lowkey philanthropists out there. I doff my hats to his contribution to giving back to the society. He’s an idol and an Icon Let love lead”
@dan_evaa:”It’s not even funny anymore, I’m glad people are starting to realize how cunny he is”
