VDM Shares Screenshot of Iyabo Ojo Dragging Davido in WhatsApp Group

The Nigerian entertainment scene is no stranger to drama, but the latest saga involving social media activist Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan (VDM), Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, and music superstar Davido has set the internet ablaze. On August 3, 2025, VDM shared a screenshot from a WhatsApp group chat where Iyabo Ojo allegedly criticized Davido for his actions following the death of singer Mohbad. The explosive revelation has sparked heated debates, with fans and critics dissecting the motives behind the leaked chats and what it means for the ongoing fight for justice for Mohbad.

The untimely death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, in 2023 sent shockwaves through Nigeria. Fans and celebrities alike demanded answers, pointing fingers at Naira Marley, Mohbad’s former label boss, and others in the Marlian Music circle. A WhatsApp group, allegedly created to push for justice for Mohbad, became a focal point for discussions among prominent figures, including Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, Davido’s PR manager Dre DMW, and others. According to VDM, this group was less about justice and more about controlling narratives and personal agendas.

VDM, a vocal advocate for Mohbad’s cause, has been relentless in his pursuit of truth. His recent actions, including sharing private WhatsApp chats, have stirred both support and backlash. The screenshot in question, shared on August 3, 2025, revealed Iyabo Ojo’s scathing remarks about Davido, accusing him of chasing clout and showing “fake love” to Mohbad’s memory.

Iyabo Ojo’s Message: What Did She Say?

In the leaked WhatsApp chat, Iyabo Ojo expressed frustration with Davido’s public stance on Mohbad’s case. She reportedly wrote, My problem is not even the black, whatever is Davido, who flee down like he claimed to fight for justice, but he still dey follow Naira Marley and no w he is not only following their supporters. He is doing live video, that is Oju aye now. That means he was chasing clout. I am so disappointed with and to think he has been saying he is the only superstar artist who stood by Mohbad, Jess fake love 001.

The message suggests Iyabo believed Davido’s support for Mohbad was performative, pointing to his continued association with Naira Marley as evidence of insincerity. She accused Davido of failing to unfollow Naira Marley on social media, despite the public outcry linking Marley to Mohbad’s alleged bullying. This screenshot has fueled speculation about Davido’s true intentions and reignited discussions about the authenticity of celebrity activism.

VeryDarkMan has positioned himself as a truth-seeker, claiming the WhatsApp group was more about manipulating narratives than seeking justice. He alleged that Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, and others used the group to push personal agendas, including shielding Mohbad’s widow, Wunmi, from scrutiny and plotting revenge against Naira Marley. VDM’s decision to leak the chats has drawn polarized reactions. Some praise his boldness, calling him a champion for transparency, while others accuse him of betraying trust for clout.

In a follow-up video, VDM countered Iyabo’s claim that she left the WhatsApp group, providing evidence that she remained active until 2024. He also challenged her narrative about a meeting with Naira Marley, where she allegedly apologized for her earlier accusations. VDM’s persistence in sharing these chats has kept the controversy alive, with fans demanding more transparency from all parties involved.

Davido’s Involvement: Genuine Support or PR Stunt?

Davido was among the celebrities who publicly supported Mohbad’s family after his death. He reportedly donated N2 million and attended Mohbad’s candlelight procession in Lagos, actions that earned him praise at the time. However, Iyabo’s leaked message questions the sincerity of these gestures, suggesting they were motivated by a desire for public approval rather than genuine concern.

The accusation that Davido continued to follow Naira Marley on social media has been particularly contentious. For many fans, unfollowing Marley would have been a symbolic gesture of solidarity with Mohbad’s cause. Davido’s silence on the leaked chats has only added fuel to the fire, leaving fans wondering whether he’ll address the allegations directly.

Iyabo Ojo’s Response

Iyabo Ojo has not stayed silent amid the controversy. In a live Instagram session on August 3, 2025, she addressed VDM’s allegations, confirming the existence of the WhatsApp group but denying any secretive motives. She clarified that the group’s objectives included exhuming Mohbad’s body for an autopsy, investigating disturbing videos about his life, and ensuring a proper burial. Iyabo also accused VDM of being manipulative and claimed her son, Festus, had his drink spiked during a visit to Naira Marley’s house, adding a personal dimension to her feud with Marley.

Her response has divided opinions. Supporters argue that Iyabo has been a vocal advocate for justice, while critics, including VDM, claim she’s using Mohbad’s case to settle personal scores. The mention of her son’s alleged experience at Naira Marley’s house has further escalated tensions, with some questioning the timing of her revelations.
