- The BBNaija former housemate also suggested that VDM was trying to shift the narrative to avoid being labelled as gay, igniting reactions from netizens
Following VeryDarkMan's threat to Nedu Wazobia after Deeone accused him of bias in his criticism of religious leaders, and questioned his identity and sexuality, social media has been abuzz with reactions to the heated exchange.
In a surprising turn, former Big Brother Naija housemate Aderombi Adedayo Martin, also known as Deeone, has publicly responded to the threat and revelations made against Nedu by social media critic VeryDarkMan.
Deeone accused VeryDarkMan of tribalism, alleging that his report was manipulative and unfairly targeted at Nedu Wazobia instead of him, the one who made the controversial statement. He claimed VDM’s actions were driven by tribal bias rather than a genuine pursuit of truth, particularly regarding speculation about his sexuality.
In a video posted on Tuesday, February 11, he stated: “VeryDarkMan, if you have the fear of God, you will let Nedu be. Nedu did nothing to you, I was the one who made those statements and I said if confidently.
“What exactly was Nedu's crime? I had earlier said that this guy is a tribalistic person. He hated the Igbos. A Yoruba man spoke and you are fighting the Igbo man who hosted the show.”
Deeone went further, labelling VDM a manipulator who was attempting to shift the narrative to distract from questions about his sexuality.
He added: “I said this guy is a manipulator. He will distract the whole public. Sensing that everybody already knows his sexual identity, he wants to distract everyone with Nedu's sexual escapades.
“Coming from someone who claimed to have slept with over 690 women in a year.
You also came out to say a mother and a daughter slept with one man with no proof, but I have proof that you sleep with men. And you are the proof because you said it yourself, so own up to it.”
Analysing the credibility of VDM's claims about Nedu's promise to get him a car, Deeone listed out notable individuals who have graced the show. He listed Abel Damina, Peter Obi, Basketmouth, Deji Adeyanju, among others. “Even your lawyer, Deji Adeyanju came twice, even your sponsor, Don Jazzy came,” he said.

“VDM’s days are numbered,” Samklef calls out VeryDarkMan over biased criticism
Meanwhile, TheRadar earlier reported that music producer Samklef accused VeryDarkMan of being biased and losing his integrity, particularly in his criticism of Burna Boy and Wizkid.
He claimed that VeryDarkMan lied about the 180 million naira prank after dismissing it by calling Nigerians dumb. He further declared his interest in taking up Lil Smart's case.
