Comedian and former Big Brother Naija housemate, DeeOne, has criticised Afrobeats star Davido over his ongoing disagreement with social media activist VeryDarkMan, urging the singer to appreciate fans of his industry rival, Wizkid.
DeeOne, in a video circulating on social media, argued that members of Wizkid’s fanbase, popularly known as Wizkid FC, helped Davido’s supporters, known as 30BG, withstand criticism from VeryDarkMan’s supporters, the Ratels.
He suggested that Davido should acknowledge the support rather than take it for granted.
“Davido, go and thank Wizkid FCs, in fact, lie down and thank them. 30BG wouldn’t have withstood the heat from Ratels. Thank them because you do not deserve their support, and people like you enabled VDM,” he said.
The comedian also criticised celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut and music executive Don Jazzy over what he perceived as their support for VeryDarkMan amid the controversy.
The development comes amid renewed exchanges between Davido and the activist, who recently revisited their past relationship and made allegations involving individuals associated with the singer.
VeryDarkMan had challenged Davido and his associates to provide evidence of claims that the singer previously offered him financial assistance, including arranging his flight to Lagos and accommodation in a five-star hotel.
Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, had earlier denied allegations that the singer was involved in any plan to have the activist arrested.
Meanwhile, music producer Samklef had defended Davido, alleging that Tunde Ednut sponsored VeryDarkMan and supplied him with information used in his criticisms of people associated with the singer.
Samklef also claimed that Davido played a role in securing VeryDarkMan’s release following his arrest in 2024 during the #JusticeForMohbad campaign.
The competing claims and public exchanges have further drawn entertainment personalities and fan groups into the dispute, with DeeOne’s latest comments adding to the ongoing debate over celebrity alliances and loyalty within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
