Popular Nigerian comedian Aderombi Adedayo Martins, professionally known as Deeone has made a shocking revelation about his recent controversy with social media activist Verydarkman.
In a new interview with TV Breakfast Show on TVC, Deeone disclosed that he deliberately set a trap using media personality Nedu Wazobia at the Honest Bunch podcast to expose Verydarkman.
This follows the heated controversy between Verydarkman and Deeone over allegations that the former was romantically interested with men, which eventually resulted in Nedu’s departure from the show.
He claimed he set up the activist and stated that Nedu was unaware of the plan. He used Nedu to target VDM.
The comedian mentioned that if he had used TikTok to claim something about VDM’s romance secret, people might not take him seriously. He explained that he needed a better platform to reveal VDM, which is why he chose the podcast.
Deeone admitted that he has no concrete evidence against Verydarkman but revealed that he has been observing him for approximately 18 months. He jokingly added that Verydarkman is his own proof, as he has previously confessed to being intimate with men.
He further explained that even Nedu would be shocked by this revelation, as he deliberately withheld his plan to avoid resistance.
In his words, “Can I be honest? I actually want to say the truth. I was the one who set a trap for Verydarkman using Nedu. This whole thing was planned by me alone, but Nedu did not know. If I had said it on social media, they would say I was looking to make money, but I needed a platform. I had been studying for months; I wanted to know if he was real or just using Nigerians. Some things he gets right, but other times, he jumps to conclusions and manipulates everyone.”
“Even Nedu will be shocked because if I had told him, he wouldn’t have agreed to it because he is his friend. And that’s why I felt bad and appealed to people not to let him lose his job. I used Nedu as the bait to get the fish, and it worked perfectly.”
“I didn’t know Nedu was going to lose his job and I feel really bad and sorry about that.”
