Social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has accused Nigerian singer Zlatan Ibile of exploiting their public feud to promote his music, alleging that the musician strategically edited a track to include a controversial verse after the song had already been recorded.
In a video posted online, VDM claimed that the dispute was being leveraged to generate publicity for the track. He stated that the song was completed prior to the addition of the disputed lyrics, suggesting the edit was a calculated move to attract attention. “As a matter of fact, them don do that song before, they edited it back to put that verse so that the thing go blow, which I don’t mind,” VDM said.
The activist further alleged that the controversy escalated after some of his critics began supporting Zlatan, encouraging the singer to take on the dispute. VDM noted that prominent artist Davido later joined the situation, adding to the public attention surrounding the feud.
Despite the accusations, VDM acknowledged Zlatan’s musical abilities, stating that he enjoys the singer’s work. “Zlatan is a great artist, I love his songs,” he admitted. However, he maintained that the singer’s fan base, while present, did not possess the strength to make him take the controversy seriously.
VDM clarified that his primary issue with Zlatan stems from the singer’s involvement in the Mohbad controversy. “That same Mohbad case make me no like Zlatan,” he added, indicating that this past incident remains a significant factor in his criticism of the musician.
