The social media saga in Nigeria just went from shocking to surreal. Activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Very Dark Man (VDM), announced his own death hours after influencer Mukoro Michelle—King Mitchy—was reported dead.
VDM shared a photo of his graveside on Instagram with the caption: “Breaking News: VDM is dead. RIP”, sending fans and followers into a frenzy. This came after his previous taunt, where he had mocked Mitchy by drinking hypo himself on live video.
The background to this bizarre drama is the months-long online feud between the two. Mitchy had been slammed on social media over her alleged rivalry with VDM involving school renovations. She claimed she renovated a school in six days and challenged VDM to fund four more schools with N50 million. Their war escalated after VDM accused her of inappropriate behavior, including allegedly “licking Seyi Tinubu’s lollipop” for money.
Social media erupted with mixed reactions to VDM’s death announcement:
- “Make una help me greet Mohbad o. Goodnight” — @rahmanjago150
- “At this point, everyone don kolo” — @suyaonthespot
- “We love him, but God loves him more. Help us greet Mitchy, the war continues” — @akinkunmosamuel
Fans are calling it a twisted continuation of the “heavenly war,” while others are shocked at the dangerous extremes of social media trolling.
This episode has once again highlighted the dark side of viral fame, where online feuds blur the lines between reality and performance. The internet is watching — and the drama is far from over.
