Title: VeryDarkMan Alleges People in Davido’s Circle Planned His Arrest; Davido’s Camp Denies
Activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) says a WhatsApp group chat he obtained in 2025 allegedly links people close to Davido to his 2024 arrest. Davido’s aide says the singer had no part in it.
What was alleged
In a November 5 video, VDM said his friendship with Davido began in 2024 and soured after he got the group chat. VDM said he called Davido about it and got no answer. VDM’s claim is that people around Davido took part, not that Davido himself ordered anything.
