“The moment you do BBL, boobs, face haaa you don arrive be that o… na to pepper all your enemies be that. If you know you will come out to cry after all that surgery, then better you no waste that money. Just start garri business for Yaba,” he added.

VeryDarkMan Hit With Massive Court Blow as Judge Orders Millions in Damages

A Federal High Court in Effurun, Delta State, has ruled that popular Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan must pay ₦30 million in compensation to Mrs. Esinjemiyotan Uruneyonjuyei Atsepoyi, the wife of comedian Mr. Jollof, after finding him guilty of defamation.

The dispute traces back to September 2024, when VeryDarkMan publicly accused Mr. Jollof’s wife of having affairs with politicians and internet fraudsters in a bid to help her husband land a government position in Delta State.

Mr. Jollof fired back at VeryDarkMan with personal insults, questioning his upbringing.

Unwilling to let the allegations slide, Mrs. Atsepoyi took legal action, filing a ₦500 million defamation suit against the social media influencer.

In a judgment delivered on May 13, 2026 and signed by Justice R. Harriman, the court found that VeryDarkMan could not substantiate his claims with any evidence.

The judge ruled that the statements made were clearly defamatory in their plain meaning and needed no further interpretation to be considered harmful.

The court broke down the ₦30 million award into ₦20 million in general damages and ₦10 million in aggravated damages, citing the wide reach of the defamatory content as a key factor in the decision.

Beyond the financial penalty, VeryDarkMan has been given 14 days to publicly apologize to Mrs. Atsepoyi in two national newspapers and across all his social media platforms, including a formal withdrawal of the damaging statements he made in September 2024.

The court also issued a restraining order barring him from making any further defamatory statements against her, either directly or through any associates.

Joeboy Highlights Ego Issues Affecting Music Collaborations in Afrobeats Industry

Afrobeats artist Joeboy has spoken out about what he sees as a growing ego problem undermining collaboration among Nigerian musicians.

In a recent interview on Cool FM Lagos, alongside fellow artist Wizkid Chan, he observed that some artists enter collaborative projects with a competitive attitude, more focused on upstaging their partner than creating something great together.

Joeboy said he deliberately chooses to work with people he already has a genuine friendship or rapport with, as it eliminates the tension that ego can bring.

He added that when he features another artist on a song, his expectation is actually for that artist to shine because that is precisely the point of bringing them on board.

Wizkid Chan echoed similar sentiments, describing ego as his biggest frustration with collaborations.

He said his personal approach is to give his collaborators full creative freedom when recording, and he expects the same courtesy in return.

According to him, some artists overstep by trying to direct how their collaborators should perform, which he finds counterproductive.

He stressed that the whole purpose of featuring someone is to bring a different dimension to a track something the other artist can do that you cannot and that it should never be treated as a competition.

He also pointed out that some artists go as far as rewriting their own verses after hearing a collaborator’s contribution, simply because they feel outdone, which he described as entirely missing the spirit of what collaboration is meant to be.
