Odogwu And Mr Integrity Combination: Burna Boy Donates ₦150M to VDM For Hospital And Prison Victims

Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has donated $100,000 (approximately ₦145–150 million) to social activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) for humanitarian efforts.

The funds are split equally: $50,000 to settle outstanding medical bills for indigent patients in public hospitals, and $50,000 to pay fines and secure the release of inmates detained solely for inability to afford minor court imposed penalties (often as low as ₦30,000–₦300,000).

In a widely shared video, VDM displayed the cash while sitting alongside Burna Boy. Later that day, the pair visited a prison facility in Lagos, taking $50,000 in an attempt to facilitate immediate releases.

However, they were unable to free any prisoners on the spot, as the warden informed them that proper protocols must be followed.

VDM announced plans to systematically collate data on eligible fined inmates across all 36 states (and the FCT) to ensure transparent and nationwide distribution of the funds. A similar process will be used for hospital bill settlements.

The conflict escalated after VDM demanded the release of actress Doris Ogala, accusing the pastor of detaining her. In teaser clips from the interview, Grace recounted alleged maltreatment by her father, expressing deep emotional pain and wishing she did not have him as a parent.

‎"I couldn’t believe I actually got nervous and started stuttering around a celebrity.

Normally, I’m that person who doesn’t get moved. I’ve been on flights, met a couple of bcelebrities before, even had some ask me to take pictures and I said no because I just don’t freeze over celebrities.

But then, I met VDM at the airport. I told my sister, who’s his biggest fan ever, that I might make a video for her. And she was screaming on the other line, so excited. And then, when I got close.

‎I completely lost my composure. I was stuttering, shaking, I was a mess guys.
Honestly, celebrities carry this kind of sparkle that just overwhelms you, and I could feel it being around him.

So yeah that’s how I lost my steeze, my composure, and my aura went straight to zero. Hopefully, I’ll recover soon but for now, let’s just say Zero steeze"

This comes after a video of the two men exchanging blows during a flight went viral on Monday morning.

VDM Reacts To Viral Photo Linking Him To Actress Nkechi Blessing’s Alleged Pregnancy.

Controversial social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has dismissed a viral AI-made picture linking him to Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, amid speculations surrounding her alleged pregnancy.

In a post shared via his Facebook handle on Sunday, VDM described the viral photo as fake and AI-generated, insisting that it was made to tarnish his image as he has never met the actress in person.

“I will like to address this picture going viral. Fellow Nigerians, I am not the man responsible for her pregnancy if she is. I have never met her in my life, and I am sure I won’t be willing to meet her ever. Please disregard this picture because it is a fake picture to tarnish my reputation. I am certain this is AI,” he wrote.

Going further, he took a swipe at weight-loss brands, suggesting that Nkechi Blessing’s visible belly in the photo might be due to excessive use of slimming products rather than pregnancy.

“In my humble opinion, I think it is the combination of different slimming products that is in that belle,” he added.

VDM also used the opportunity to caution against misinformation and cyberbullying, calling on Nigerians to be more vigilant against false advertisement and character defamation.

“Thank you all, have a lovely Sunday and say no to false advertising in Nigeria. Protect one another. Say no to bullying too,” he concluded.

The viral photo featured VDM, a critic of the actress, wrapping his hand around Nkechi Blessing’s protruding belly.

It stirred mixed reactions online, with some metizens speculating about VDM’s relationship with the actress.

If his actions result in the loss of life or property belonging to any Northerner, he will pay for it dearly!”

I love VDM and then I found another content creator who is passing value but what’s more interesting is that this two people are not just reaching the urban areas but grassroots.

As creators we need to remind ourselves it’s not just content, comedy or laughter, we are shaping our tomorrow

We need more people like this because what becomes our norm today will be the culture and traditions of tomorrow.

I had to unfollow almost everyone, tired of seeing yansh on my timeline from creators who only care about views and lining their pockets

Naira Marley was bigger than Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy before scanda l ~ VeryDarkMan

Self-styled activist, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has claimed that Nigerian singer, Naira Marley was bigger than his colleagues, Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy, before he became a victim of cancel culture following accusations of involvement in his former signee, Mohbad’s death.

He made the claim while speaking on the dangers of cancel culture in a recent video broadcast on TikTok, noting that Naira Marley’s fanbase otherwise called, Marlians, were the largest fanbase in the country before the singer was “cancelled.”

VDM said, “Naira Marley was bigger than Wizkid, Burna boy and Davido. He had a very large fanbase both in Nigeria and abroad until this Mohbad issue. The music industry is so dark. The jealousy in the industry is too much.”

He urged the relevant authorities to conclude the issues surrounding Mohbad’s death so that the public can move on from it.

VDM REPLIED IYABO OJO: You left the group chat because of DNA problem not because Dre and Samklef were fight!ng. Those ones fought on Oct 6, 2023 but You still posted in the group eight months after their fight. On Oct 9, you posted that Justice for Mohbad was not about who k!Iled him only but who bull!ed him. On Oct 13, You posted a picture of me and Uti in the group claiming we were gay.
Your blogger also posted it immediately

On Jan 11, 2024 you called Mohbad's Dad a very useless father. On March 29, 2024 you posted on how you people were planning on how Wunmi would leave the country. On April 26, 2024 you revealed in the group that Wunmi had done a private DNA. You still posted till June 9, 2024 so why are you lying to the public. Very soon I will post what you discussed about DNA in the group

If you like, abuse me…” – Davido hits back after Verydarkman denied receiving financial support, he responds.

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has finally reacted to claims made by controversial activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), who publicly denied ever receiving any financial help from the singer.

The exchange comes on the heels of a recent online video where VDM firmly stated that contrary to popular belief, Davido never paid for his hotel or flight during their much-publicized linkup in Lagos.

This narrative Verydarkman claimed has often been used by critics to shut him down whenever he comments on matters involving the “Unavailable” crooner.

Amid the buzz, Davido, currently still on his global “5Alive Tour,” dropped a subtle yet direct now-deleted comment on Instagram under a post referencing the situation.

“VDM if u like abuse my whole life I no fit fight u,” he wrote, drawing mixed reactions online — some taking it as sarcastic, others calling it graceful restraint.

Responding swiftly, VeryDarkMan quoted the singer:

“@davido SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT. If you see am as insult, the aluta continua. Love always from my end (I no be anybody boy still)!”

Despite the online friction, VDM maintained that his intentions weren’t driven by hate, but clarity.

The back-and-forth has since stirred intense reactions across social media, with fans praising Davido’s maturity and others commending Verydarkman’s transparency.

The controversy stems from widespread assumptions that Davido funded Verydarkman’s trip to Lagos at the peak of his social media relevance in 2023.

During that period, VDM was widely seen defending Davido during his online feud with associates of Wizkid and others, fueling speculation that his loyalty may have been incentivized.
