Zlatan Ibile and VeryDarkMan

VeryDarkMan (VDM), a social media activist, has claimed that singer Zlatan Ibile sent three celebrities to plead with him over their ongoing dispute. He also said the musician’s parents joined a phone call with one of those celebrities to make an appeal on their son’s behalf.

Claims about Zlatan’s health#

In a video posted online, VDM claimed the singer was not eating and had become unwell because of the controversy. He described Zlatan as a “clown” and a “weaker vessel,” saying the singer was struggling with the backlash from their disagreement.

Describing the call, VDM said:

“As a matter of fact, his parents were on a call with one of them to beg me that their son no fit chop, that their son is not feeling well, that this whole thing is messing him up.”

VDM challenged Zlatan to deny the allegation and threatened to name the celebrities he claimed had been sent to him: “Let him say it’s a lie, make I drop the names of the celebrities.”

The activist also linked the dispute to the case of the late singer Mohbad, alleging that Zlatan did not publicly support the demand for justice because his career was at stake.

VDM said he was not seeking attention and was only speaking what he believed to be the truth. “I don’t hurt people, I just speak the truth,” he said.
