Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has responded after his friend and singer Davido posted a video flaunting his luxury car collection in what appeared to be a clapback.
VDM had earlier criticized both Davido and fellow artist Burna Boy for recently purchasing new cars. He questioned the need for such extravagant spending and suggested that their wealth could be put to more meaningful use.
In response, Davido shared a video proudly showing off the vehicles in his garage, seemingly addressing the activist’s comments. Unfazed, VDM fired back, bluntly asking, “Who is Davido?” He made it clear he won’t flatter anyone or boost their ego, even if they’re his friends.
During his reaction, VDM emphasized that Nigeria’s top three artists are not divine beings and said that no matter their fame, they are still human and will only live as long as God allows perhaps 70 to 80 years.
In a candid and unfiltered moment, he was seen munching on tiger nuts, even spitting chewed bits onto his phone mid-rant. Addressing the criticism he often receives online, VDM admitted that he is proud and egoistic but insists he is unapologetic about it.
According to him, that same pride has preserved his integrity over the years, and he refuses to compromise just to maintain friendships or gain approval.

VDM concluded by affirming that he’s not seeking validation from anyone and will continue speaking his truth, whether or not it ruffles feathers.

@crazyanalog reacted: “Integrity is something that is Rare. Who lacks it hates those who do.”
@officialsarahmartins said: “I feel is okay for people to spend their money how ever they want because they worked hard for it with nobody knowing how many sleepless nights they went through to make that happen. It’s okay to give back to people however and whenever they want without someone that didn’t help them work for the money dictating to them on how they should spend it. We all knew when @davido donated over 250m to charity and we all saw how transparent he was about it. I know of a few @wizkidayo has helped even though he doesn’t need public validation over his kind gestures, @burnaboygram on his own helps people and doesn’t need validation on how he blesses people.”
