Popular social media influencer VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM, has responded to reality TV personality Phyna after she labeled him a “Very Dirty Boy” and suggested he contributed to tensions with actress Iyabo Ojo.
Phyna had previously claimed that her closeness to VeryDarkMan played a major role in the deterioration of her friendship with Iyabo Ojo.
In a detailed public statement, VDM expressed disappointment over the accusation, insisting that his support for Phyna has always been genuine and unconditional.
He explained that he consistently assisted Phyna throughout her career, from promoting her movies to offering guidance on both personal and professional matters. VDM emphasized that he made himself available whenever she sought advice, promotional support, or help with family-related concerns, often without expecting anything in return.
VDM also questioned what personal benefit he gained from the relationship, stressing that his actions were driven by loyalty and goodwill rather than personal gain.
Reflecting on past controversies, he hinted that greed and certain choices may have contributed to the strain in their relationship, noting that several people who once supported Phyna have since stepped back as public interest in her waned.
Despite the dispute, VDM concluded his statement on a conciliatory note, expressing no bitterness and wishing Phyna success in her future endeavors.
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between reality TV personalities and influencers in Nigeria’s entertainment and social media landscape.
