In Nigeria, where celebrity drama often eclipses even the most pressing headlines, few conflicts have gripped public attention quite like the ongoing clash between social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM) and controversial music artist Portable. What began as subtle shade and provocative commentary has now escalated into a full-blown digital battle—fueled by allegations of financial misconduct, luxury car purchases, and explosive diss tracks that have gone viral across multiple platforms.
Let’s dive into the details of the controversy currently dominating conversations across Nigerian social media—brought to you by Alo360.net.
💸 The ₦180 Million Controversy: Fraud Allegations Hit VDM
VeryDarkMan, a popular and divisive online activist known for his blunt takes and no-holds-barred approach to exposing societal issues, is facing serious backlash after reports surfaced alleging that a staggering ₦180 million intended for charity through his NGO is missing or unaccounted for. The claims, fueled by both critics and former supporters, suggest misappropriation of funds meant to support vulnerable communities.
The outrage reached new heights when images and videos began circulating online, showing VDM posing with a sleek new Mercedes-Benz AMG. The luxury vehicle, reportedly purchased around the same time the charity funds allegedly went missing, raised eyebrows and ignited a storm of online accusations. The timing, many netizens argued, was far too coincidental to ignore.
🎤 Portable Enters the Scene: Loud, Unfiltered, and Unapologetic
Enter Portable, Nigeria’s unpredictable and outspoken street-hop artist, known for his boisterous personality and unfiltered commentary. Never one to hold back, Portable took to Instagram Live and launched a fiery tirade aimed directly at VDM.
“If na me dem go say Portable don thief,” he said during the live session. “Now dem dey protect VDM. Where the 180 million dey? You dey cruise Benz with charity money!”
The rant quickly went viral, prompting a massive wave of reactions. Not content with just words, Portable openly challenged VDM to settle the issue face-to-face:
“No go drop diss track, come meet me make we reason am man to man,” he declared.
🎶 VDM Responds With a Diss Track: Claps, Bars, and Controversy
Rather than engage in a public confrontation, VDM took the Gen Z route—by releasing a diss track as his rebuttal. The song took aim at Portable’s personal life, public image, and even his hit “Zazu” anthem, with razor-sharp lyrics and layered jabs wrapped in heavy social critique. The accompanying visuals featured past clips of Portable’s erratic behavior and legal woes.
While some critics dismissed the diss track as performative and unnecessary, others praised it for showing VDM’s ability to respond on the same level of intensity. “Finally, someone is matching Portable’s energy,” one fan tweeted.
VDM has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, claiming that every financial transaction connected to the NGO is documented and accounted for. He insists that the allegations are a smear campaign designed to silence his activism.
🎤 The Saga Continues: No Resolution in Sight
Portable, on the other hand, shows no signs of letting the issue go. Rumors are swirling that he is currently working on his own diss track in retaliation—promising to continue the feud with his signature aggressive delivery and controversial takes.
As the online war of words intensifies, neither party seems ready to back down. And in the fast-paced world of Nigerian entertainment, where reputation can shift with a single post or track, this feud is far from over.
One thing remains clear: in the arena of public opinion, no one is walking away untarnished. And as the views climb and the diss tracks drop, Nigeria’s digital streets will be watching every move.
