Social media activist VeryDarkMan has opened up about his alleged fallout with Nigerian singer Davido, claiming that members of the singer’s crew were involved in a WhatsApp group where plans to have him arrested over his involvement in the Justice for Mohbad campaign were allegedly discussed.
Recounting how his relationship with Davido began, VeryDarkMan said he was excited when the singer followed him on social media. According to him, they gradually became close, and he regularly supported the singer by promoting his music whenever he released new songs.
He, however, claimed that most of their private conversations involved Davido asking him for favours, insisting that he had never personally requested anything from the singer.
“After Davido followed me, I was excited. After then, we became cool. If he drops music, I’ll show love by promoting it. We had a couple of conversations in the DM, but to be very honest, it was always him asking for favours. I’ve never asked him to do anything for me,” he said.
The activist alleged that the situation changed in 2025 when he obtained a WhatsApp group chat reportedly involving Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, Samklef, K-Solo and some members of Davido’s DMW crew.
According to VeryDarkMan, he discovered from the conversation that some individuals allegedly discussed plans to have him arrested in 2024 because of the questions he was raising about the circumstances surrounding the death of singer Mohbad.
He said the discovery came as a shock because he had maintained a friendly relationship with Davido and some members of his crew, despite spending months in Kuje Correctional Centre.
“I was surprised. Me and Davido, we dey cool, and me and the same crew guys were always laughing. How come these guys were the ones who planned my arrest when I was spending months in Kuje?” he questioned.
VeryDarkMan further claimed that he repeatedly attempted to reach Davido through phone calls to find out what the singer knew about the alleged WhatsApp group and why members of his crew were involved in discussions about his arrest.
He alleged that Davido refused to answer his calls, while blogger Cutie Juls later published a post claiming that the activist was trying to reach the singer without success.
The activist also recalled that some social media users accused him of attempting to record Davido’s voice during the call to blackmail the singer.
Expressing his disappointment, VeryDarkMan said he felt betrayed because he only wanted an explanation from someone he considered a friend.
“I was betrayed. I was like, why? I just wanted to confirm something. I wanted to ask why your boys were in such a WhatsApp group. When he did that, it was very, very disappointing,” he said.
He added that he eventually sent Davido a message expressing his displeasure, accusing the singer of maintaining a friendly relationship with him despite the alleged plans against him.
“For you to plan my downfall like this, if I see you here, I pass like this. You see me, I pass. And you dey follow me laugh. You dey do bro, bro,” he reportedly told the singer.
VeryDarkMan’s revelation has brought renewed attention to his strained relationship with Davido, with the activist questioning the singer’s alleged silence over the actions of some members of his crew.
