“Forget The Music, Wizkid Is A Special Kind Of Person” — Man’s Comment Resurfaces Old VDM-Wizkid History
A simple comment about Wizkid’s personality is making rounds online, and given everything that’s played out between the singer’s fanbase and VeryDarkMan over the past couple of years, the timing has people digging up old receipts.
The Comment Itself
According to the man speaking in the now-circulating clip, people need to look past Wizkid’s music entirely, insisting there’s a lot more to learn from him as a person than as an artist. He described Wizkid as a special kind of individual with a personality unlike most, framing it as a character endorsement rather than commentary on his catalogue.
Simple as the statement sounds, it’s landing in the middle of a storyline that’s been unfolding on and off for years the complicated relationship between Wizkid and controversial online activist VeryDarkMan.
The VDM-Wizkid History That Makes This Land Differently
To understand why a comment about Wizkid’s “personality” is generating buzz, you have to go back to VDM’s own account of his relationship with the singer. In an earlier viral clip, VDM revealed that Wizkid had sent him ₦30 million while he was in prison a gesture he’s referenced multiple times as proof of the singer’s genuine character behind the scenes, well before either of them became embroiled in public online spats.
That goodwill, however, didn’t stop things from turning tense later on. In January 2026, VDM found himself in a heated clash with Wizkid’s organised fanbase, Wizkid FC, after inserting himself into a separate feud between Wizkid and fellow artist Seun Kuti over comparisons and musical legacy. VDM openly criticised Wizkid and his fans during that spat, prompting FC members to fire back by resurfacing an old 2023 clip in which VDM appeared to be asking Wizkid for money a claim VDM addressed directly, insisting instead that it was Wizkid who owed him, over the unauthorised use of his trademarked catchphrase “Don’t Play” in Wizkid’s 2022 single “Diamond.”
Things escalated further when VDM issued a public ultimatum, daring Wizkid FC to mass-unfollow his account until his numbers dropped to a specific target a challenge that spectacularly failed, with his following actually growing instead, only fuelling more online mockery between both camps.
So Why Bring Up His “Personality” Now?
Given that back-and-forth history genuine private kindness on one hand, and messy public fanbase warfare on the other a comment praising Wizkid’s character specifically, while explicitly telling people to “forget the music,” reads as a deliberate attempt to separate the artist’s real personal reputation from all the online noise generated by his fans and critics alike. Whether intentionally or not, it’s reigniting a conversation about who Wizkid actually is behind the headlines, distinct from the running battles that dominate his name online.
Wahala Network Take
Between the ₦30 million prison gift, the trademark dispute, and a failed unfollow campaign, Wizkid and VDM’s history reads like its own mini soap opera proof that even when the beef looks purely digital, there’s usually a much older, more layered story sitting underneath it. Whether this new comment is genuine appreciation or a subtle jab at all the noise surrounding him, one thing’s clear: people still have a lot to say about Wizkid beyond just the music.
