Nigerian celebrities are often loved and admired by many, but some have earned a reputation for being the most disliked.
From controversies and scandals to perceived arrogance and poor behaviour, these celebrities have found themselves on the wrong side of public opinion.
Here is a compiled list of five celebrities who have made it to the list and why their names are there:
Blessing CEO
Self-styled relationship therapist Blessing Okoro is currently facing intense public anger. Her announcement of a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis in late March 2026 attracted widespread sympathy and donations, but growing inconsistencies in her claims, lack of verifiable medical evidence, and reports that she mocked some donors have triggered severe criticism.
Portable

Street-hop artist Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, remains one of the most polarising and disliked personalities. He frequently makes headlines for public fights, arrests, messy celebrity beefs, and his chaotic, unfiltered social media behaviour, which many Nigerians now describe as toxic and overly disruptive.
Yul Edochie
Actor and politician Yul Edochie continues to draw heavy dislike from the prolonged drama surrounding his second marriage to Judy Austin and the bitter public separation from his first wife, May Edochie. Adding to the fire, he gained dislike for supporting the current administration.

Naira Marley
Afrobeats star Naira Marley is another name high on the list of public frustration. Connection to the Mohbad case, controversial lyrics and past fraud allegations have led many to accuse him of promoting lifestyles that glorify negative and anti-social behaviour.
VeryDarkMan (VDM)
Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, rounds up the major names generating strong negative reactions. While some appreciate his exposés of alleged scams, a large portion of the public strongly dislikes his aggressive style, perceived selective activism, and confrontational tactics, which many label bullying.
