Davido Severs Ties with Iyabo Ojo on Instagram After VeryDarkMan Exposes Group Chat on Mohbad’s Case

Popular Nigerian singer Davido has officially unfollowed Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo on Instagram, following a controversy stirred up by leaked messages shared by controversial commentator VeryDarkMan.

The rift erupted after VeryDarkMan uploaded screenshots of a WhatsApp group chat in which Iyabo Ojo allegedly criticized Davido’s involvement in the late singer Mohbad’s case, accusing the artist of exploiting the situation for social media clout.

In the leaked messages posted on Instagram by VeryDarkMan, Iyabo Ojo questioned Davido’s sincerity, pointing out that he had not unfollowed controversial artist Naira Marley, despite publicly declaring his support for justice for Mohbad.

The actress was quoted in the chat saying:

“My issue is not even with that black whatever, it’s Davido who claimed to have flown down to support the call for justice but still follows Naira Marley. That’s clear clout-chasing behavior. I’m extremely disappointed, and to think he calls himself the only A-list artist who stood by Mohbad. It’s just fake love 001.”

Davido appeared to respond decisively by unfollowing Iyabo Ojo, a move that sparked fresh conversations across Nigerian social media.

A quick check by LMSINT MEDIA confirmed that while Davido no longer follows Iyabo Ojo, the actress still follows the singer on Instagram, suggesting the rift may be one-sided or still developing.

The controversy stems from the tragic death of young Nigerian artist Mohbad in 2023, under circumstances that many fans and activists have described as suspicious. His passing led to a nationwide wave of protest, both online and in the streets, demanding answers and accountability from those believed to be involved.

In solidarity, celebrities such as Davido, Falz, and Zlatan Ibile joined fans and family members at a candlelight procession to mourn and honour Mohbad’s memory.

Iyabo Ojo, one of the most vocal figures in the Justice for Mohbad movement, had reportedly created a WhatsApp group to coordinate efforts among fellow campaigners and supporters.

However, her relationship with other celebrities, including Davido, appears to have soured over time. In a previous interview, Iyabo Ojo openly expressed regret over pushing for Mohbad’s body to be exhumed—a move she had supported in the heat of the campaign but now seems to view as hasty or unnecessary.

This latest fallout reflects the growing divisions among public figures who initially united in the quest for justice but now find themselves at odds over motive, integrity, and long-term involvement in the cause.
