Court Orders Arrest of VeryDarkMan Over Defamation of Mercy Chinwo

A Chief Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of popular blogger Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), over alleged criminal defamation of gospel singer Mercy Chinwo.
The court directed the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to arrest VDM and bring him to court to face the charges. Magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna issued the warrant on Thursday, March 13, 2025, after VDM failed to appear in court despite being summoned on March 5, 2025.
VDM’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, tried to convince the magistrate to withdraw the warrant, promising to personally present his client in court. However, Magistrate Iyanna rejected the request and insisted that the security agencies produce VDM in court.
The case stems from accusations that VDM made false claims on social media, alleging that Chinwo was involved in a contract dispute and the misappropriation of $345,000 linked to her former record label boss, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, also known as Eezee Tee.
Chinwo reportedly provided the court with evidence, including emails and payment receipts, to prove that VDM’s statements were false and harmful to her reputation. Her legal team, led by Pelumi Olajengbesi of Law Corridor, argued that VDM’s actions violated Sections 391 of the Penal Code and Section 24 (1)(B) of the Cybercrime Act 2015.
Chinwo’s lawyers have also filed a separate case at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, demanding N1.1 billion in damages. They are seeking an order for VDM to delete the statements, retract them, and publicly apologize to Chinwo.

Erigga Says Nigerian Women Date for Money, Not Romance

Rapper Erigga has sparked controversy with his bold views on Nigerian women and romance.
He recently claimed that Nigerian women prioritize financial gain over true romance in relationships. According to him, to them, romance is all about receiving monetary gifts, while love simply means having their bills paid.
On his X handle, Erigga wrote, “Nigerian women aren’t deep. They date for survival, not for love. So, when a man is intentional, it means he’s rich. Romance to them is just a monetary gesture, and love is about paying their bills. What you’re calling relationships in Nigeria isn’t it.” His remarks have ignited heated debates online.

Iyanya Says He Has No Enemies and Supports All Artists

Afrobeats star Iyanya has responded to accusations that he’s taken sides in the ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido.
The long-running beef between the two artists flared up again last year with heated social media exchanges. Iyanya, who previously collaborated with Wizkid on the hit track ‘Sexy Mama,’ has recently faced criticism for showing public support for Davido’s music.
On Wednesday, an X user, @Akubasteeny, called out Iyanya in the comments, questioning why he appeared to switch sides and back Davido over Wizkid.
Iyanya was quick to set the record straight, saying he has no issues with either artist. He made it clear that his support for Wizkid is just as strong as his support for any other artist.
He went on to explain that fans are often the ones trying to create divisions between artists, writing, “I don’t have a problem with any artist. I play Wizkid’s ‘Made in Lagos’ and ‘Morayo’ just like I play songs from other artists. Most of us artists listen to each other’s work when it drops to stay updated on the sound.”
He also shared how he’s supported artists like Fola, Fireboy, and Joeboy before they hit big. “I’ve been playing their songs from the start. I tell you, I have no enemies. Fans are the ones pushing these agendas. Me and Burna had a great time together at the club just three weeks ago.”
