VeryDarkMan has told his followers why things turned sour between him and two of Afrobeats' biggest names. In a video posted on
Thursday 5 November 2026, the activist, whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse, linked his fallout with Davido and Zlatan Ibile to his long campaign for justice for Mohbad.
Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, died in September 2023. VDM has kept pushing for answers about his death ever since.
According to VDM, he had been on good terms with Davido's circle for over a year. Then, he claims, the mood changed.
He says people around him expected him to ease off once his Mohbad campaign touched people they knew. In his words, they "wanted me to look away". He says he refused.
He also had a pointed word for the way celebrity friendships work. Fame and big names, he argued, should never be used to quiet calls for accountability. He added that he is ready to lose connections in the entertainment world if that is the price of his stance.
Reaction online has split. Many fans and rights advocates are praising him for putting principle ahead of proximity to wealthy stars. Others see a performance meant to boost his engagement, and say he is using a tragedy to do it.
Where do you land on it?
