Nigerian social activist Martin Otse is trending after he lost out on an award category at the recent Trendupp awards, which took place on July 7.

Instead, Tunde Onakoya, who is known for his Chess in the Slum initiative and recently broke the Guinness world record of 58 hours nonstop chest, clinched the award.
Following this development, some irate VDM fans think he was robbed and should have won. However, the minority think that he should not have been nominated in the first place.
Nonetheless, VDM himself is yet to react to this development.

Recall that VDM has not left the trends table for a while now. It began after Davido’s wedding when he called out some of the guests over their invitation class and continued to spread from there on.

Radiogad Exposes VDM, Accuses Him of Scam
Meanwhile, US-based on-air personality Radiogad has publicly dragged Verydarkman over alleged fraud.
The video captured the voice of a man who was alleged to be VDM’s former partner and claimed to have been scammed by him.
According to him, he had a deal with VDM for years, but after he became famous, he refused to honour his call and failed to return the payment made for his services.
