VeryDarkMan was dragged into the issue after Davido flew him to Lagos for a good time despite his reputation as a freedom fighter.

Why VeryDarkMan will not criticise Davido

In a new development, VeryDarkMan shared a new video where he addressed people bashing him for not dragging Davido. According to him, he only drags online vendors so that other people won't fall victim to their businesses.

The online activist noted that Davido was not an online vendor and that no amount of dragging would make the singer drop the N218 million he allegedly owes. He said that Abu Salami was being foolish to take his case online instead of taking it to court.

He said:

“Talking about Davido, what does Davido do online? Is Davido an online vendor? What kind of dragging will I drag Davido now that will make him pay that guy N218 million according to what the guy is saying? Secondly, that particular guy is doing what I call ‘penny wise, pound foolish’. According to you, you said Davido is owing you N218 million, I was not there. You say you have evidence of him owing you N218m only for you to come online and you’re spoiling your case. Davido is owing you N218 million, something that you will sue him, take him to the legal court and find your money.”

Not stopping there, VeryDarkMan also accused the businessman of making a lot of defamatory comments about Davido, such as saying the singer's boys killed someone and calling him a thief, among other things.

According to the online activist, at the end of the day, the businessman might not even get up to N1 million back from the singer because he was spoiling his case by himself.

I didn't collect money from Davido - VeryDarkMan

In the video, VDM also shut down claims that Davido paid him money. According to him, when he was in Lagos, Davido booked an apartment for him and wanted to pay for as long as he was willing to stay, but he refused the offer and changed his room to a cheaper one he could afford to pay for.

The dark man also claimed Davido's Isreal called him to ask for his account number so that he would 'do him well', but he refused because he doesn't need Davido's money now but in future when he puts his business plan into motion.

Netizens react as VeryDarkMan refuses to drag Davido

The video of VeryDarkMan explaining why he didn't drag Davido in the Abu Salami N218 million case soon made the rounds online and got many netizens discussing. A number of them accused the young man of selective activism.

Read some of their comments below:

royalhugssurprises:

“Now VDM you just lost my respect for this ✌️ selective activism. Shioor.”

sirkingsleyy:

“Them don lodge you now.”

Kofz_coco:

“Selective activism. Very trashy dude! I blame you people who made him relevant.”

talktoraye:

“It’s crazy how he said I quote “you said Davido is owing you 218 million Naira I was not there” but in other cases such as Imole why then do you drag Wumi when you were not there either? There’s a thin line between changing the narrative and finding the truth. In this case the victim has come out to speak but you claim absence. Don’t you see your own double standards? Nobody is saying Wumi is Innocent. But she has been investigated 2 times. Are the police dumb? You are gathering people from different stages in Mohbads life to speak for him so you can run and post on social media but they have been so many allegations about David why not gather people too? Use the same energy you are using to investigate Imoles death. Use that energy to investigate David’s Debt.”
