Samklef defends Davido amid feud with VDM, slams Tunde Ednut

In ongoing few between social media sensation, Verydarkman and Nigerian artist, Davido, music producer, Samklef, has alleged that Davido was responsible for securing the release of social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) following his arrest during the #JusticeForMohbad campaign.

In a video shared on X on November 9, 2026, Samklef defended Davido against VDM’s recent criticisms, describing them as misleading and ungrateful. He noted that Davido had attended a candlelight vigil for the late singer Mohbad.

Samklef further alleged that blogger Tunde Ednut sponsored VDM and fed him information that prompted attacks on people around Davido and shifted the narrative surrounding Mohbad’s death.

“It was even Davido that released VDM from when we arrested VDM. He should come and deny it,” he said.

In his caption, Samklef identified himself as one of the founding voices of the Justice for Mohbad movement and said he would protect its narrative.

He also claimed VDM promoted Naira Marley’s music upon release, and disclosed that he had spoken privately with VDM last year.

He added that he had considered apologising to VDM’s mother over GTBank-related accusations made against her, and promised to share details of a related group chat soon.

Amid this, Israel DMW, has previously denied any involvement by the singer in VDM’s arrest.

VDM had earlier challenged Davido and his friends to provide proof of alleged financial support, after claims surfaced that Davido once flew him to Lagos and lodged him in a five-star hotel.
