A video capturing the moment a young lady completely lost her composure after meeting the controversial internet personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has sent social media into a frenzy. The incident, which took place at an airport, showcases a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) overwhelmed by emotion.
An Unplanned Encounter That Went Viral
The lady, identified on TikTok as @alao_eunice, shared the now-trending clip where she documented her chance meeting with VeryDarkMan aboard an aeroplane. In the video, her excitement is palpable as she struggles to maintain her calm while interacting with the celebrity.
The corps member's primary mission was to get a video shoutout for her sister, Mercy Owolabi, whom she described as VeryDarkMan's "biggest fan." Stuttering through her words, she managed to convey the message: "My sister loves you so much. She is crazy about you. Mercy Owolabi." She further informed him that her sister was eagerly waiting at the airport to see him.
"I Lost My Steeze": Lady's Candid Confession
Following the viral spread of the video, the lady opened up about her unexpected reaction. She confessed that her behaviour took her by surprise, as she typically does not get star-struck by celebrities.
She elaborated that she had been on flights with other famous personalities before and had even declined photo opportunities. However, proximity to VeryDarkMan was a different experience entirely. "I completely lost my composure. I was stuttering, shaking, I was a mess," she admitted.
In her reflection, she noted that celebrities often carry a certain aura that can be overwhelming up close. "Honestly, celebrities carry this kind of sparkle that just overwhelms you, and I could feel it being around him," she said. She humorously concluded that her "aura went straight to zero" and hoped to recover her composure soon.
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
The internet has been divided in its response to the viral moment. While some users trolled the lady for her emotional outburst, many others defended her, stating that such reactions are normal when meeting an admired figure.
One user, Chisom Ifeanyi, commented supportively: "My love u have the right to react anyhow u want to react when u see someone u like for the first time is normal." Another user, Dera nwa, offered gentle advice: "Please next time take a deep breath and calmly make your video."
Others shared their own experiences with celebrities. User Chiks recounted being star-struck by filmmaker Mary Remy Njoku, while Oluwonder admitted to a different tactic: "Omo anytime I see celebrity, I go do like say I no see them make they no vex say I no greet them."
The video, posted on December 16, 2024, continues to generate significant engagement online, highlighting the powerful influence of digital celebrities in contemporary Nigerian pop culture. This event underscores how online personalities like VeryDarkMan command substantial fan loyalty and can create unforgettable moments for their followers.
