The Nigerian entertainment scene is no stranger to controversies, but the latest feud between media personality Destiny Ezeyim, popularly known as Radiogad, and online critic Vincent Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has taken social media by storm. At the center of this brewing scandal is influencer Josephine Sunday, widely recognized as Jojo of Lele, whose name has been dragged into a whirlwind of accusations and counterclaims.
Recently, VeryDarkMan shared pictures on his social media platforms after spending time with Jojo of Lele in what appeared to be an attempt to mend fences following his earlier comments about her relationship with podcaster Nedu. However, shortly after these posts surfaced, Radiogad took to Instagram to accuse VDM of having an affair with Jojo, likening it to the allegations he previously made against Nedu. The accusation has since sparked heated debates online, drawing reactions from fans and critics alike.
Radiogad did not mince words when leveling his accusations against VeryDarkMan. According to him, VDM allegedly took Jojo of Lele to a hotel room during their outing in Abuja. He claimed that the duo went out for dinner, watched a movie, and later hit a club where Jojo became tipsy. Radiogad alleges that VDM then whisked her away to a hotel, insinuating that they spent the night together.
To bolster his claims, Radiogad revealed that he had insider information from a staff member at the hotel where the alleged incident occurred. “VeryDarkMan don go knack Jojo of Lele yesterday,” he wrote in part. “VDM na bad man you be, na black Jesus you be. So after accusing Nedu of knacking Jojo of Lele, you go do am yesterday. Guys, the hotel VDM carry Jojo of Lele, I get person wey dey work for there. The person contacted me with evidence.”
He further warned VDM that if he denied the allegations, Radiogad would release the so-called evidence. However, he added cryptically, “If VeryDarkMan no talk, I go keep am to myself as usual.” This statement left many wondering whether the accusations were genuine or simply a ploy for clout—a common phenomenon in today’s digital age.
As expected, Radiogad’s explosive claims quickly went viral, eliciting a wide range of responses from netizens. Some users dismissed his allegations as baseless gossip, while others seemed entertained by the unfolding drama. Comments poured in, reflecting the polarized opinions surrounding the issue.
One user, @Wahalatwins, shrugged off the allegations, writing, “And so wat?” Another commenter, @Ray_services001, joked, “We know leave am for us .” Meanwhile, @Oficiale_mrbobo expressed indifference, stating, “Na wetin we want be that, we like am like that.” On the other hand, some criticized Radiogad for airing such claims publicly. For instance, @I_am_astonishing remarked, “Have some shame man… this is soooo embarrassing.”
Others pointed out the lack of engagement between Radiogad and VeryDarkMan in the past, suggesting that the former might be seeking attention. @El_beast999 noted, “Who noticed that VDM has never replied this guy before he didn’t even know he existed
clout chaser.” Similarly, @Ninethugsix humorously chimed in, “
VDM no go rest this year.”
Despite the mixed reactions, one thing was clear: the drama had captured the public’s imagination, turning into yet another chapter of Nigeria’s ever-evolving social media saga.
While the specifics of the alleged encounter remain unverified, the situation raises important questions about motives and accountability in the public eye. Radiogad’s decision to air his claims on social media—complete with promises of undisclosed evidence—has drawn scrutiny. Critics argue that such tactics risk tarnishing reputations without concrete proof, potentially harming innocent parties in the process.
For VeryDarkMan, who has built a reputation as an outspoken critic of celebrities and influencers, the accusations come at a sensitive time. His recent efforts to reconcile with Jojo of Lele following his previous remarks about her relationship with Nedu suggest an attempt to clean up any lingering misunderstandings. Whether Radiogad’s claims will derail these efforts remains to be seen.
Jojo of Lele, meanwhile, finds herself caught in the crossfire. As a prominent influencer, her personal life has often been subject to public speculation. The latest allegations could further complicate her public image, especially given the salacious nature of the claims.
This incident is emblematic of a broader trend in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, where public feuds frequently dominate headlines. From musicians to actors, comedians to influencers, disputes often play out on social media platforms, attracting millions of views and comments. While some see these conflicts as harmless entertainment, others worry about their long-term impact on individuals’ mental health and careers.
In Radiogad’s case, his willingness to call out high-profile figures like VeryDarkMan aligns with a pattern of behavior aimed at keeping himself relevant in a crowded media landscape. By stirring controversy, he ensures that his name stays in the spotlight—even if it means courting backlash from skeptics.
On the flip side, VeryDarkMan’s silence thus far adds another layer of intrigue to the story. Will he address the allegations head-on, or will he choose to ignore them altogether? Either way, his response—or lack thereof—will undoubtedly shape how the narrative unfolds.
Beyond the spectacle, this episode underscores the need for caution when discussing private matters in public forums. In an era where information spreads rapidly, unsubstantiated claims can have far-reaching consequences, damaging reputations and straining relationships. It also highlights the importance of discernment among audiences, who must learn to separate fact from fiction in an increasingly noisy digital space.
At its core, the Radiogad-VeryDarkMan-Jojo of Lele saga serves as a reminder of the complexities of human interactions—and the power dynamics at play in the world of celebrity culture. Whether driven by malice, ambition, or mere curiosity, the stories we tell about each other reveal as much about ourselves as they do about those involved.
As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is certain: Nigeria’s social media landscape thrives on unpredictability. And in a country where entertainment and real-life intersect seamlessly, every twist and turn offers fresh material for discussion—and endless opportunities for reflection.
