In a recent interview with Punch Saturday Beats, socialite Blessing CEO revisited a recent controversy involving a tattoo artist who called her out for refusing to pay for his services. She provided intricate details of the encounter while subtly shading VeryDarkman in the process.
This issue harks back to when the tattoo artist traveled from Lagos to Enugu on a flight without prior notice to Blessing CEO, later demanding that she cover the flight expenses as well. During the interview, Blessing expressed her determination not to pay him after he had publicly dragged her on social media.
She revealed, "I told him (tattoo artist) not to come to Enugu when he told me he was in Lagos because I could not bear the cost. He booked a flight without informing me and only sent evidence while at the airport. He also left without completing the tattoos. I continuously asked him the cost, but he did not respond until two days later when he told me the tattoo cost N250,000, while his flight ticket cost N252,000."
Addressing the artist's threat to drag her on social media, Blessing CEO confidently declared, "The truth is I won’t pay him a dime again."
She also took a moment to discuss her online dispute with VeryDarkman. Blessing clarified that her remarks and actions weren't rooted in personal issues with the bodybuilder but were instead a response to his defamatory statements against women.
Blessing elaborated, "I don’t have any personal beef with Very Dark Black Man; I am just airing my opinions. He is fond of making defamatory posts against women. So, when I saw him, I decided to make a video of him, because he was looking very dirty. Many people said I was broke-shaming him, but that is not the case. When one expresses their opinions, it might appear as if they are a hater. Why doesn’t he criticize celebrities like Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy?"
