Social media critic Martins Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has responded to allegations about his lifestyle made by former BBNaija housemate Deeone, whose real name is Aderombi Adedayo Martin.
Intel Region previously reported that during an appearance on Nedu’s Honest Bunch podcast, Deeone claimed that VDM was not part of the “straight” community.
He further alleged that VDM was involved with men, insisting it was common knowledge—a statement that quickly went viral on social media.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday, February 11, online critic Verydarkman (VDM) revealed that several people had sent him Deeone’s comments, urging him to sue for defamation.
VDM stated that he had no intention of taking legal action or involving the police against Deeone.
“I am a street boy, ghetto boy, I can’t take anybody to court,” he said.
However, VDM shifted his focus to Honest Bunch host Nedu, revealing that the media personality had been begging him to appear on the podcast since 2024. Sharing their WhatsApp chats, VDM also alleged that Nedu promised to buy him a car if he agreed to feature on the show.
“Nedu wanted me to come to his podcast I didn’t respond, when we met in Abuja Nedu told me if I come to his podcast he would buy me a car,” VDM stated.
VDM further claimed that Nedu had repeatedly tried to get close to him, but he kept his distance. He suggested that this might be why the media personality was now using Deeone to spread allegations against him.
VDM also alleged that most guests, especially influencers, who appeared on Nedu’s podcast were either paid or had to pay to be featured. He claimed that the podcast was primarily driven by views and revenue from YouTube, which is why it rarely addressed serious issues affecting Nigerians.
