<p>Popular online activist,&nbsp;<strong>Verydarkman</strong>, has come out swinging against critics and naysayers who have constantly accused him of being&nbsp;<strong>bankrolled by Afrobeats superstar, Davido</strong>.</p>



<p>In a video posted to his&nbsp;<strong>Instagram page</strong>, the outspoken social commentator didn’t just rant — he gave&nbsp;<strong>specific receipts</strong>. According to him, all the stories flying around about Davido footing his bills are&nbsp;<strong>simply not true</strong>.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">“Davido Never Gave Me a Kobo” – VDM Speaks Out</h3>



<p><strong>Omo, this one loud o!</strong>&nbsp;Verydarkman, visibly fed up with the accusations, revealed that&nbsp;<strong>not a single naira</strong>&nbsp;has been given to him by Davido or anyone in the DMW crew.</p>



<p>He stated clearly that while people online had praised Davido for flying him to Lagos and putting him up in hotels, the reality was&nbsp;<strong>very different</strong>.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“The time I went to Lagos to see Davido, I paid for my own flight. The hotel people claim Davido lodged me in? I paid for it myself,” he said.</p>
</blockquote>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">For Content Sake, I Dey Quiet – But Not Anymore</h3>



<p>Verydarkman admitted that while he didn’t initially correct the narrative — likely for&nbsp;<strong>entertainment effect or public perception</strong>&nbsp;— the lies had now gone too far.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“But for entertainment purposes, we just leave am like that,” he added.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Omo! So all the soft life people thought he was enjoying under Davido’s wings was actually&nbsp;<strong>self-funded</strong>? This twist go scatter group chat.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="541" height="566" src="https://www.mansionpage.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/img_3667.jpg" class="wp-image-1425" srcset="https://www.mansionpage.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/img_3667.jpg 541w, https://www.mansionpage.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/img_3667-287x300.jpg 287w, https://www.mansionpage.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/img_3667-401x420.jpg 401w" sizes="(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px" /></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">He Doesn’t Owe Me, And I Don’t Owe Him – VDM Maintains</h3>



<p>The activist was quick to clarify that his support for Davido was&nbsp;<strong>not based on financial favors</strong>, but rather&nbsp;<strong>mutual respect</strong>&nbsp;and a personal stance. According to him, he’ll continue to defend Davido when he feels it’s right — but not because he’s being&nbsp;<strong>paid or pampered</strong>.</p>



<p>He emphasized that&nbsp;<strong>Davido has never contributed</strong>&nbsp;to his NGO, contrary to what many fans and gossip blogs have been spreading online.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h3>



<p>While some netizens are applauding him for clearing the air, others are still skeptical, questioning why he didn’t speak up earlier. Regardless, one thing is certain —&nbsp;<strong>Verydarkman is not here to be anyone’s puppet</strong>, and he just proved it in the most direct way possible.</p>
