Media personality Radiogad has stirred fresh drama online with claims about the real reason behind the ongoing feud between activist VeryDarkMan and Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Radiogad dismissed the widely held belief that their clashes are mainly connected to the Mohbad case. Instead, he alleged that VeryDarkMan is secretly in love with Iyabo Ojo but has never found the courage to tell her.
He suggested that the activist’s frequent online attacks on the actress might be rooted in personal feelings rather than genuine public interest. According to him, VeryDarkMan has a thing for older women and single mothers, which could explain his fixation on Iyabo Ojo.
Nigerian Media Personality, Radiogad, speculates on the reason behind VeryDarkMan and Iyabo Ojo’s feud.
It can be noted that the pair have been dragging themselves online as VDM calls out Iyabo Ojo usually in Late singer Mohbad’s case. Meanwhile Iyabo reacts and addresses the matter.

Fans then react to Radiogad’s claims and many state that the idea is impossible.
