Nigerian content creator and activist Lucky Udu has sparked massive reactions online after releasing a highly emotional and tearful video where he passionately addressed the allegations allegedly tied to veteran singer Sky B. The clip, which has since gone viral across multiple platforms, showed Udu visibly distressed and crying uncontrollably while swearing on his own life to prove his innocence.
In the heartbreaking footage, Lucky Udu insisted that he has never, at any point, taken money that does not belong to him or mismanaged funds meant for another person. With tears streaming down his face, he declared emphatically: “If I take anybody’s money, let me die. If I have collected money for selfish reasons, may I not live to see tomorrow.” His strong words left many viewers torn between sympathy and suspicion.
The controversy stems from Lucky Udu’s earlier viral documentary about Sky B, the “Ma Bebe” crooner who once ruled the Nigerian music scene but is now struggling with poverty. The shocking exposé revealed that Sky B has been living in dire conditions in Port Harcourt alongside his wife and five children. According to the documentary, the singer has been completely cut off from his music royalties and does not even own a phone to connect with fans or opportunities. This revelation moved many Nigerians, leading to widespread sympathy and donations for the struggling artist.
However, what began as an outpour of support quickly spiraled into controversy. Rumors and allegations soon began to circulate, accusing Lucky Udu of mismanaging the funds raised for Sky B. Some critics even alleged that Udu had used Sky B’s tragic story as a means to chase clout and gain online relevance. These accusations spread like wildfire on social media, drawing sharp debates and dividing opinions among Nigerians.
In response to the growing backlash, Lucky Udu came forward with his emotional denial. He described the allegations as completely false and malicious attempts to tarnish his name. “These are false accusations! I have never taken what does not belong to me,” he cried. His dramatic declaration, “If I take anybody’s money, may I not live to see tomorrow,” has since become the most quoted line from the video and has fueled even more heated conversations online.
At the moment, the saga has become one of the most trending gists in Nigeria’s entertainment space, with many asking: who is truly telling the truth—Lucky Udu or his critics? While some people believe the activist’s emotional outburst is proof of his sincerity, others remain skeptical, insisting that tears do not always equate to innocence. One thing is clear, however: the controversy has placed Lucky Udu under the heaviest spotlight of his career, and how the issue unfolds in the coming weeks will determine whether his reputation is saved or permanently damaged.
For now, the phrase “If I take anybody’s money, let me die” continues to dominate the conversation, becoming a defining point in this unfolding drama. Whether those words will vindicate Lucky Udu or haunt him in the long run remains to be seen.
