I rejected N50m offer to campaign for Adeleke, says VeryDarkMan amid fallout with Davido

Social media personality Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has publicly stated that he turned down a N50 million offer to campaign for Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. VDM alleges that the offer came from Nigerian music star Davido and his associates, and claims this refusal contributed to a deterioration in their relationship.

“

Davido and his crew offered me money, when they call me say make I come meet the uncle governor, say I go collect N50 million. Ask wetin I tell them. A lot of people will be happy, you no wetin be N50 million? I bounce am. Ask them.

VDM recounted the alleged offer in Pidgin English, stating, “Davido and his crew offered me money, when they call me say make I come meet the uncle governor, say I go collect N50 million.” He asserted that he rejected the substantial sum, adding, “Ask them. You see this media, what you don’t know is bigger than you.” The activist suggested that his refusal led to their current distance, noting, “The last time me and Davido even talk na when that issue of that boy wey he said he go give 5,000 dollars for Ghana.”

VDM detailed the past interaction regarding the $5,000 pledge, explaining that he had to prompt Davido to fulfill it after people began insulting him, believing the pledge was used for clout. “So, I sent to him in his DM, how far, make them pay this boy because people were insulting me thinking that we used the thing for clout. From there they paid the guy,” VDM said.

You see this media, what you don’t know is bigger than you.

Currently, VDM has not presented any evidence to substantiate his claim about the N50 million offer. Davido has not yet issued a public response to these allegations. The two had previously maintained a cordial relationship, but recent months have seen significant fan speculation about a potential falling out between them.
