Abdulhameed Sherif · Entertainment · Nov 6, 2026

Afrobeats heavyweight Davido’s camp has officially broken its silence following explosive allegations made by social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM).

The complex web of alliances, leaked chats, and online accusations dominating the Nigerian entertainment scene took a dramatic turn as Davido's inner circle stepped forward to set the record straight.

Addressing the viral claims point by point, Israel DMW launched a spirited defense of his principal:

Zero Involvement in VDM Arrest Plot: The aide explicitly stated that Davido had absolutely no hand in any plot to see VeryDarkMan detained, emphasizing that individuals operating in related online group chats did so entirely without the singer's knowledge, consent, or instructions.

Denying Catalog and Signing Rumors: Dismissing claims that Davido attempted to acquire late Mohbad’s music catalog or sign former Marlian Music artist Zinoleesky, Israel branded those allegations as complete falsehoods fed to VDM by liars.

Resisting Pressure Over Naira Marley: Shedding light on the height of the Mohbad controversy, Israel revealed that despite intense public pressure demanding that Davido unfollow Naira Marley on Instagram, the singer flatly refused, insisting that law enforcement be allowed to do their job rather than reacting to social media hearsay.

Whether viewed as a necessary damage control measure or a definitive closure to a messy online feud, the fierce clarification proves that in the high-stakes world of Nigerian celebrity politics, perception and loyalty remain frontline battlegrounds!
