Social media sensation Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has finally addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his frosty relationship with Nigerian music icon, Davido. In a candid and trending video, VDM dropped a bombshell, asserting that his once-friendly ties with the Afrobeats superstar soured after he turned down a hefty ₦50 million offer to campaign for Davido’s uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The Shocking ₦50 Million Rejection
According to VDM, the substantial sum was dangled before him as an incentive to throw his influential support behind Governor Adeleke’s political ambitions. “Davido and his crew offered me money; when they call me say make I come meet the uncle governor, say I go collect N50 million. Ask wetin I tell them. A lot of people will be happy; you no wetin be N50 million? I bounce am. Ask them,” VDM boldly declared in the viral clip, leaving fans and followers stunned by the revelation.
The outspoken activist’s account paints a vivid picture of a deliberate choice, highlighting his refusal of what many would consider a life-changing sum. This rejection, VDM implies, became the catalyst for Davido’s subsequent distance.
The Last Conversation and a Ghanaian Boy’s Promise
Further shedding light on their strained dynamic, VDM also recounted his last significant conversation with Davido. The discussion, he revealed, revolved around a Ghanaian boy to whom the ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ crooner had reportedly promised $5,000. This detail adds another layer to the complex narrative, suggesting underlying issues beyond the political campaign offer.

Amidst Growing Speculation
VDM’s unfiltered revelations arrive amidst a period of heightened public speculation regarding his seemingly estranged relationship with Davido. For months, fans have observed a notable silence and lack of interaction between the two, a stark contrast to their previously public camaraderie. These claims offer a potential explanation for the observed shift.
VDM’s History of Public Stances
This isn’t the first time VeryDarkMan has found himself at the center of public discourse due to his outspoken nature. Known for his no-holds-barred commentary, VDM recently made headlines following a court case involving comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, popularly known as Mr Jollof. The legal battle stemmed from allegations VDM made concerning Mr Jollof’s wife and Koko Butterfly Hotel. Following the judgment, VDM publicly mocked Mr Jollof in an Instagram video over the N35 million award, reinforcing his persona as an unyielding social critic.
As these new claims unfold, the entertainment landscape eagerly awaits a potential response from Davido’s camp, as fans continue to digest VDM’s bold assertions about the unraveling of their once-public friendship.
