Social Critic Martins Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman or VDM has shared new insights into the ongoing controversies surrounding Naira Marley and the late Nigerian singer Mohbad.
During a recent livestream on Tiktok, Verydarkman revealed that Naira Marley admitted to owing Mohbad a substantial amount of money before his sudden death.
He explained, “What is crazy is that the guy has his own evidence, and I asked Naira Marley, ‘Why are you not coming to the public? Sit down, show them your own evidence and the business side of everything. He clearly owed the boy some money, and he told me how much he owed him and it wasn’t small money. He told me how much he was meant to give the boy and that caused their problem.”
Shedding light on the strained relationship between Naira Marley and his former signee, VeryDarkMan claimed the issues began when Mohbad wanted to change his manager.

“He said he signed Mohbad and Mohbad started taking gigs outside and wasn’t paying the label. His wanting to change his manager was the genesis of the whole problem,” he added.
The self-proclaimed activist also disclosed his advice to Naira Marley, urging him to address the public with evidence to clarify the situation. However, he noted Naira Marley’s refusal to do so.
“I’ve told him to come out, explain to Nigerians and show them your own evidence, and he told me that it’s God that would fight his battle. I even promised to give him my platform to speak. If you claim you’re innocent, he shouldn’t be scared. I found out that he’s not even confident; this nigga smokes weed to have confidence. So if he ever agrees to do something like that, he has to smoke a lot,” said VDM.
Prompt News reports that Mohbad died on 12th of September, 2023, at the age of 27.
