Social media activist VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse, aka VDM) has responded to Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna (Josephina Otabor) after her public accusations.
Phyna recently claimed during a Twitch livestream that VDM caused tension in her once-close relationship with veteran Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, whom she calls “mama.” She said Iyabo used to like and comment on her posts but has stopped, unfollowed her, and distanced herself.
Phyna said:
“I feel mama doesn’t like me that much again because before she used to comment on my posts and like them. Now she no longer does, and I’m very sure it’s because of that dirty boy.”
She added that the change began after she commented on one of VDM’s posts. Iyabo allegedly misunderstood the comment amid their ongoing feud.
On January 14, 2026, VeyDarkMan responded publicly. He expressed disappointment over the accusations. He said his support for Phyna was always sincere and without conditions.
VeryDarkMan explained that he consistently supported her career. He reposted promotions for her movies and offered guidance on personal and professional matters. He added that he made himself available whenever Phyna needed advice, paid promotional support, or help with family concerns, often without expecting anything in return.
VDM stressed that his actions were motivated by loyalty and goodwill, not personal gain. He said directly that he gained nothing from her. He also reflected that greed and certain choices eventually strained the relationship. He noted that several people who once supported and promoted Phyna have stepped back as public interest waned.
Despite the tension, VDM concluded on a positive note. He said he bears no bitterness and sincerely wishes Phyna success in all her future pursuits.
This latest clash revisits past controversies between the pair, including earlier family disputes. It also shows the fragile nature of alliances in Nigeria’s celebrity and influencer world. Fans remain divided. Social media is buzzing with debates on loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of public friendships.
