Comedian and former Big Brother Naija housemate, DeeOne, has criticised Afrobeats star Davido, telling him to appreciate fans of fellow singer Wizkid for allegedly helping his fanbase withstand criticism from social media activist VeryDarkMan.
In a video shared online, DeeOne argued that Wizkid FC played a significant role in shielding Davido’s supporters, popularly known as 30BG, from the backlash generated by the ongoing dispute between the singer and the activist.
He urged Davido to show gratitude to Wizkid’s supporters, insisting that the 30BG fanbase would have struggled to withstand the pressure from VeryDarkMan’s supporters, known as Ratels, without their intervention.
DeeOne also took aim at celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut and music producer Don Jazzy over what he described as their perceived support for VeryDarkMan.
His comments come amid renewed tensions between Davido and the activist, who recently revisited their previous relationship and made claims involving individuals associated with the singer.
The disagreement escalated after VeryDarkMan challenged Davido and his associates to provide evidence of claims that the singer had previously extended financial assistance to him, including arranging his trip to Lagos and accommodation at a five-star hotel.
Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, had earlier dismissed allegations that the singer was involved in efforts to secure the activist’s arrest.
Meanwhile, music producer Samklef has weighed into the controversy, defending Davido while accusing Tunde Ednut of sponsoring VeryDarkMan and providing information allegedly used in attacks against people associated with the singer.
Samklef further claimed that Davido played a role in securing VeryDarkMan’s release following his arrest in 2024 during the #JusticeForMohbad campaign.
The allegations and counterclaims have widened the dispute, drawing reactions from entertainment personalities and supporters of the individuals involved.
DeeOne’s intervention has further fuelled conversations about celebrity alliances, fan loyalty and the influence of social media personalities in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
