Kokopee: VDM Asked if Davido Promised Free Collaboration
Kokopee, a close friend of social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), has said VDM questioned why he was involving himself in the fallout between VDM and singer Davido, and asked whether Davido had promised him a free music collaboration. Kokopee made the claims in a video and follow-up remarks reported on October 31, 2026, according to Daily Post and other outlets.
What Kokopee said
According to Ladun Liadi News, Kokopee said he was not involved when Davido and VDM first became friends, or when Davido invited VDM to Lagos. He said VDM later called him to complain about something Davido had allegedly done.
Kokopee said he advised VDM to reach out to Israel or Ubi, and that Davido also contacted him about the issue. He said he explained to Davido what might have made VDM feel betrayed, but Davido disagreed. “I know VDM very well, and he feels betrayed,” he said.
He said he then relayed Davido’s side to VDM. The next thing he heard, he said, was VDM asking why he was carrying Davido’s matter on his head and whether Davido had promised him a free collaboration for his music.
To avoid being accused of betraying VDM, Kokopee said he stepped back. He added that he still privately advises VDM to manage the situation well.
Background and timeline
Legit.ng reports that Kokopee first spoke about the rift in an Instagram video on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, saying he had privately spoken to both men while keeping the details of the conversations private. He said VDM felt Davido had betrayed their friendship.
The remarks followed months of public tension. In July, VDM said he turned down a ₦50 million offer linked to Davido’s camp and that Davido stopped keeping in touch afterwards, according to Tribune and Legit.ng. Davido’s response to that claim was not found in the sources reviewed.
VDM publicly criticised Davido in a video on October 15, and Davido liked the post, The News Chronicle reported.
