VeryDarkMan's elder brother, known as Macavelli, has unveiled a new home for artists signed to his record label, Velli Music Worldwide.

The video

In a video reported on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, Macavelli gave a tour of a four-bedroom property he described as the label's new home, with rooms for artists, a kitchen and space for a music studio, and said some work was still being done. He recalled that he had earlier complained about being unable to secure an apartment because of a problem with a landlord, and said the label had eventually got a larger property for the same amount.

The logo

The label's logo caught the attention of social media users because of its resemblance to the branding of Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), Davido's record label.

Background

The unveiling comes during a bitter public feud between VeryDarkMan and Davido, with the activist releasing a series of videos and recordings aimed at the singer and his associates. Some fans accused the label of using Davido's brand for attention.

VeryDarkMan (VDM) does not seem to believe in fighting fairly. When he has a disagreement with someone, he appears willing to go to any length to make his point, even if it means bringing up some of the most painful moments in that person's life.

A painful chapter

Over the years, Davido has lost several close friends and associates in tragic circumstances. Their deaths set off all kinds of rumours and conspiracy theories online.

Some people even claimed the deaths were connected to rituals or sacrifices for fame and success. None of those claims was ever proven, and there is no credible evidence linking Davido to any of their deaths.

Imagine losing people who were very close to you, only to have strangers turn their deaths into accusations against you. Davido has lived with those memories for years. He has carried on with his music career, built his family and moved forward with his life, but moving forward does not mean the pain has disappeared.

Reopening old wounds

Now, amid his ongoing disagreement with Davido, VDM has reportedly brought those painful memories back into public discussion. This is where things appear to be getting out of hand.

You can criticise Davido's music, lifestyle, public statements or behaviour. You can disagree with him and challenge his opinions. That is perfectly normal. But bringing up the deaths of his close friends because of a disagreement raises serious questions.

What exactly is the intention? Is it to expose wrongdoing, to make a legitimate point, or simply to hurt someone where he is most vulnerable?

Where are the limits?

VDM has built a reputation for confronting people without holding back, and his supporters may argue he is only giving his opponents the same treatment they give others. But surely there should be limits.

Davido is not above criticism, and neither is VeryDarkMan. Both are public figures who should be held accountable for their actions. Using someone's personal tragedies as ammunition in a public quarrel, however, is something else entirely.

There are some experiences people never fully recover from. They may laugh and smile in public, but that does not mean they have forgotten. If winning an argument requires reopening another person's deepest wounds, perhaps the argument has already gone too far.

Over to you

People say all is fair in love and war, but does that mean we should abandon all compassion when we disagree with someone? Has VDM crossed the line with Davido, or is this just two public figures fighting without limits?

Social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has continued his public exchange with singer Zlatan Ibile, daring him to openly deny claims that he secretly sent celebrities to plead with VDM over their ongoing disagreement.

"Just come out and say it's a lie"

Speaking partly in Pidgin, VDM said, in effect: "It's been over 24 hours since I dared Zlatan to come out and say I'm lying that he sent people to beg me. He acts like a hard guy in public, but does something else behind the scenes."

"Just come out and say it's a lie, simple! Let me call out the names of the celebrities you sent. If they deny it too, then you'll see what my next post will be."

He added that he was only holding back out of respect for Zlatan's parents: "It's because your mother and father are involved. We still respect parents here. If not, everyone would already know that you have no class."

Tough in public, soft in private?

VDM claims Zlatan is acting tough in public while making moves behind the scenes to settle the matter, and has threatened to name the celebrities he says were sent if Zlatan stays silent.

The feud began after a video of Davido singing a line from Zlatan's song INFERNO at Zlatan's wedding welcome party in Morocco, a lyric VDM believes was aimed at him. VDM then warned Zlatan that he would "learn the hard way".

Allegations, not facts

For now, these remain VeryDarkMan's claims. Zlatan has not responded publicly, and his silence does not confirm them.

Over to you

Will Zlatan respond, or will he let VDM keep controlling the conversation?

Nigeria has made history at the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal, winning gold in both the girls' and boys' 100 metres.

The races

Rosemary Chigozie Nwankwo, a 17-year-old secondary school student, won the girls' 100m final in a wind-assisted 11.16 seconds, according to reports on Tuesday, 10 November 2026. Arwa Ali of the United Arab Emirates took silver in 11.41 seconds and Dana Salem of Qatar won bronze in 11.48. Nwankwo had reached the final by winning her semi-final in 11.53 seconds. Her compatriot Gift Bright then won the boys' 100m in a personal best of 10.28 seconds.

A first

The double makes Nigeria the first country to win both 100m titles at the same edition of the Youth Olympic Games. Nwankwo's win was also Nigeria's first gold medal of the Dakar Games, and she becomes the third Nigerian woman to win the event, after Josephine Omaka in Singapore in 2010 and Rosemary Chukwuma in Buenos Aires in 2018.

Background

The Dakar Games are the first Olympic event ever held in Africa. The sprint golds come days after Nigeria's Flamingos won the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco, adding to a remarkable run for Nigerian youth sport.
