Nigerian music star Davido has officially unfollowed actress Iyabo Ojo on Instagram following explosive WhatsApp messages shared by social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM)—leading to a polarised reaction among fans.
Explosive Leak Ignites Drama
In a viral move, activist VeryDarkMan released a screenshot from a controversial WhatsApp group, revealing Iyabo Ojo’s private messages claiming that Davido was only making symbolic gestures in Mohbad’s death saga. She asserted that Davido was “chasing clout” by still following Naira Marley despite his stance on justice—labeling his support “fake love 001.”

💬 Fan Warzone
The post triggered a war in comment sections. Some fans cheered Davido, calling him a real one for refusing fake loyalty:
“Way to go, no time to pretend.”
But others criticized Davido’s reaction as childish—pointing out that the celebrity world thrives on gossip, hypocrisy, and mutual shade behind closed doors.
VDM vs Ojo: Old Rivalry Reignited
This isn’t the first battle between Iyabo and VDM. In 2025, she publicly vowed to disengage from online feuds, promising to elevate her message. Yet her explosive chat resurfaced publicly, reigniting the feud. VDM had previously accused her of gatecrashing Davido’s wedding and derided her as disrespectful.
Paulo Okoye Steps In
Iyabo’s partner, Paul Okoye, fired back at VDM—calling him obsessed, calling on Davido and other stars to disavow him, and described his behavior as pitiable. He urged respect, noting that Iyabo and VDM’s mother might be the same age and deserving of dignity.
Public Sentiment Split
Commenters dragged VDM for being inconsistent and sensationalist. A social media observer wrote:
“He rose by exposing fake skincare products, now he just dey yack random people…
Elsewhere, many defended Ojo, praising her evidence defense and dismissing VDM as clout-chasing.
Celebrity Alliances Turn Fragile
This saga reveals how fragile public personas and alliances are in the digital age. A screenshot sparked a high-profile disconnection, showing just how quickly relationships unravel in celebrity politics.
Toxic Influence of Influencers
VDM’s rise from activist to provocateur shows how volatile social media influence can be. Many accuse him of bullying and manipulation, others hail him for “speaking truth”—but his style remains divisive.
Trust, Reputation & Public Proof
Iyabo Ojo tried to clear her name with evidence—invites, video arrival, and personal vlogs. Her defense, backed by Paulo Okoye, portrayed her as a victim. Davido’s response reinforces loyalty rules in celebrity circles: loyalty is public—and betrayal is public too.
Davido’s unfollow move may speak louder than any words. It’s a bold statement: don’t mess with his loyalty. But for fans, VDM’s exposé is a reminder that in Nollywood and Afrobeats, no one is immune from the fallout of clout wars.
Updates will follow—especially if more chat screenshots emerge, or if any official statement drops from either camp.
