Davido appears to dismiss Kokopee's account of his rift with VeryDarkMan

Davido has given a short but pointed response to claims by content creator Kokopee about the singer's fallout with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM).
What happened
On Friday, 30 October 2026, Davido reportedly replied with a single 'cap' emoji, internet slang for a lie or exaggeration, two days after a video by Kokopee spread widely on X. Many fans took the post as a denial of Kokopee's account, although the singer did not explain it further.
Kokopee's claims
In his video, Kokopee, a close friend of VDM, said he had tried to save the friendship between the two men by passing messages between them privately. He said VDM felt betrayed by Davido, while Davido rejected that view. His most talked-about claim was that Davido personally reached out to him, and he presented what he described as evidence of their conversation.
How people reacted
Reactions were mixed. Some fans said the emoji showed Kokopee had exaggerated, while others challenged both sides to share full evidence. Some urged people to stay out of the dispute. Neither Davido nor VDM had made any further statement at the time of the report.
Background
Davido and VDM were once close allies, but their friendship broke down earlier this year. This week Davido also congratulated rapper Zlatan Ibile on his chart-topping song 'Inferno', which fans see as a jab at VDM, adding to the tension.
