He shared this on his Instagram page, while denying that Davido bankrolled him.
According to him, the majority of the actions people credited to Davido were actually done by him.
He clarified that when he first met the Afrobeats star in Lagos, he paid for his flight and hotel accommodation, contrary to what the media carried.
The TikTok star also mentioned that he rejected a 50 million naira cash gift from Davidos uncle Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun state.
He said in part in:
Anytime I talk about Davido people go say after all Davido has done for you. Davido flew you to Lagos. Davido has contributed to your NGO. The time I go to Lagos to go see Davido, na me pay my flight ticket. The hotel wey dey say Davido lodge me, na me pay for the hotel. But for entertainment purpose, we just leave am like that.

So because DavdiO has been nice to VDM and contributed to his NGO, automatically means that VDM should turn a Blind eye when DavidO or any of his crew messes up?? And we are shouting every day for fairness and equality?? Omo na us dey do ourselves. No matter how close you are to VDM , if you mess up hell put you in your place. Thats how it should be. #RatelQueen.

1. Davido never said you are his boy& na all these online niggas Dey yern those bulshit. 2. Davido no send you or anyone as you no send am too thats why he never responded to things you talk about him. 3. I would only advise anytime a 30BG staff go contrary, its good you post only the persons picture without using the picture Davido and the culprit snap together. While addressing the persons matter, its wise not to mention Davidos name too because its not good for his brand. No one is against what you do because all of us are with you including Davido. Peace and love >B.

Omo VDM is just teaching me a lot of things&. * One Killing the spirit of despiration * Secondly, Believing so much in myself and the God who created me.
*Thirdly, Being comfortable and satisfied with what i have, big or small.* Four, never to compromise who you are snd what you stsnd for because of money.
* Five , Self discipline. d Just imagine when you have person like Peter Obi as president and have few people like VDM in Nigeria, just imagine the kind of country we are going to build together.
