Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan has stunned followers after publicly announcing his own death online, just hours after reports surfaced claiming influencer King Mitchy had passed away.
The activist, whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse, made the shocking declaration via Instagram, posting what appeared to be a graveside image alongside a dramatic caption.
“Breaking News: VDM is dead. RIP.”
The post instantly went viral, with many interpreting it as satire, mockery, or a continuation of his ongoing online feud with Mitchy.
VeryDarkMan’s announcement comes amid an intense social media battle between the two personalities, which has dominated online conversations for days.
Observers widely believe his post was a sarcastic response to earlier claims by Mitchy’s management announcing her alleged demise following public backlash tied to her dispute with the activist.
The conflict between the pair escalated over charity work, public accusations, and questions about funding sources, with the controversy drawing in prominent names, including Seyi Tinubu, and even references to royal connections involving the Ooni of Ife.
As tensions grew, both camps traded statements and online jabs, turning the dispute into one of the most talked-about digital showdowns in recent Nigerian social media history.
Social media users reacted immediately, with many unsure whether to laugh, worry, or criticize the unfolding drama.
For many observers, VeryDarkMan’s “death announcement” signals that the feud has moved beyond ordinary online disagreements into full-blown digital performance where symbolism, satire, and shock value drive engagement.
Whether intended as mockery, commentary, or publicity, one thing is clear: the rivalry between the two internet personalities continues to dominate public attention.
