Social media critic Martins Otse aka Verydarkman has finally broken his silence on gospel singer Mercy Chinwo’s legal action against him.
Recall that Chinwo dragged Verydarkman to court for defamation of character following his involvement in her ongoing case with her former manager and label boss Eezee Tee.
In a post sighted online, the court paper dated March 3rd, 2025 showed that demanded compensation to the tune of N1.1 billion from VDM for defaming her.
