Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has escalated her ongoing feud with social media activist Very Dark Man (VDM) by publishing a detailed psychological analysis of his behavior, tracing his current controversies to what she describes as a loveless upbringing. In a lengthy Instagram post, Ojo shifted focus from their previous confrontations to examine the root causes of VDM’s antagonistic social media presence.
The actress’s critique centered on VDM’s childhood hardships, including allegations that he resorted to stealing food to survive. She specifically addressed his mother’s role in his development, questioning the parental decisions that led to his current behavior. Your parents failed to provide you with a nurturing environment, leading to unresolved anger and pain,” Ojo wrote, directly connecting his past struggles to his present conduct.
The context for this personal attack stems from a year-long conflict between the two personalities, initially sparked by disagreements over the late singer Mohbad’s case. Their antagonism has manifested in multiple public exchanges, including serious allegations from both sides. VDM previously accused Ojo of inappropriate behavior involving her daughter, while Ojo has consistently challenged his credibility and character.
The conflict reached a new peak when VDM attempted to diminish Ojo’s social status by claiming she was excluded from Davido’s main wedding ceremony. Ojo countered this assertion with evidence of her invitation, leading to another round of public confrontations.
Ojo’s latest statement represents a strategic shift in their ongoing conflict, moving from direct confrontation to a more analytical approach. Her post suggests that VDM’s attacks on successful women and men stem from unresolved childhood trauma rather than legitimate grievances. “Your anger and frustration are misplaced, and it’s time to acknowledge the root cause,” she wrote.
This psychological analysis serves multiple purposes: it positions Ojo as more understanding of her adversary’s behavior while simultaneously undermining his credibility by attributing his actions to personal trauma. Her approach also broadens the discussion beyond their personal conflict to address larger issues of childhood neglect and its lasting impacts.
The actress concluded her message with a challenging piece of advice, suggesting that VDM needs to “free your heart from hate by first forgiving your parents so that you can find peace.” This statement both acknowledges the complexity of his situation while maintaining her critical stance.
This latest development in their ongoing feud illustrates the evolving nature of social media conflicts in Nigerian entertainment, where personal histories and psychological analyses become weapons in public disputes. It also highlights how social media platforms have become spaces where celebrities can engage in complex dialogues about personal development and accountability, even within the context of ongoing conflicts.
