VeryDarkMan Calls Out Iyabo Ojo Over WhatsApp Group Controversy
Celebrity critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has renewed fire in his controversy with Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo—alleging manipulation and deception linked to Mohbad’s tragic death.
The Core Allegation
VDM claims a WhatsApp group called “Concerned Citizens”, formed after Mohbad’s death, included Iyabo Ojo, Samklef, Tonto Dikeh, and others. Initially focused on justice, he says the group pivoted to defaming Naira Marley despite Marley’s absence at the time. VDM accuses Ojo of being complicit in orchestrating that narrative.
Iyabo Ojo Responds
In a live TikTok session, Iyabo addressed VDM’s claims head-on. She confirmed she attended one meeting with Marley and others but insisted she’s no longer affiliated with the group. She described VDM as manipulative and deceitful, especially after seeing how he later criticized Naira Marley.
She also revealed a disturbing incident involving her son at Naira Marley’s house—alleging his drink was spiked and he was rushed to the toilet to vomit. This added a deeply personal dimension.
Legal Fallout
VDM has faced legal charges for cyberbullying Iyabo Ojo and other public figures. In May 2025, he was re-arraigned on five counts, including allegations he falsely claimed Ojo had an “indecent sexual relationship with her daughter.” He pleaded not guilty and was granted bail.
Escalation & Public Sentiment
VDM warns more videos, screenshot evidence, and chat logs are on the way. Meanwhile, actress Lizzy Anjorin called out Iyabo for alleged manipulative behavior, accusing her of forging documents and damaging others’ reputations. Iyabo, in response, emphasized her commitment to ending negativity and prioritizing truth.
Why It’s Significant
This saga highlights how digital discourse, personal trauma, and justice for Mohbad intersect with celebrity feuds in Nigeria.
VDM’s accusations raise questions about social media ethics, privacy violations, and the weaponization of grief.
Iyabo’s revelations—notably involving her son—underscore how private trauma can become public, raising stakes in celebrity controversies.
