The battle between Social media online critic Verydarkman (VDM), whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse, and gospel musician Mercy Chinwo has taken a surprising twist.
Recall that Chinwo dragged Verydarkman to court for defamation of character following his involvement in her ongoing case with her former manager and label boss, Eezee Tee.

In a post sighted online, the court paper dated March 3, 2025, showed that Mercy Chinwo demanded compensation to the tune of N1.1 billion from VDM for defaming her.
Legit.ng also reported that in a video shared on his social media pages, the critic stated that he couldn't afford to pay for the damages as he jokingly apologised to the singer.
However, a recent update from the critic showed him accusing the lyrical evangelist of leaking his private number online.

He showed a picture of a document with his number typed on it and claimed that the material had been shared online, where numerous netizens had access to it.
The dark model went on to bemoan how his phone has been buzzing with calls and his WhatsApp filled with random messages.
Not stopping there, VDM went on to taunt the singer with a Christian song he composed on the spot and restated that she was going to learn the hard way.
