Award-winning music star Davido has unfollowed Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo on Instagram, fueling speculation of a fallout linked to the ongoing controversy surrounding the late singer Mohbad’s case.
The move comes in the wake of controversial activist VeryDarkMan’s (VDM) release of leaked group chat conversations allegedly involving several celebrities, including Iyabo Ojo, discussing sensitive details about Mohbad’s death and the subsequent public reaction.
Screenshots from the chat, which have now gone viral, appear to show tension and differing views among the members of a private WhatsApp group reportedly set up to coordinate advocacy and media efforts following the singer’s tragic passing in 2023.
Social media users were quick to notice Davido’s decision to unfollow the actress, sparking widespread discussion online. Some fans interpreted the action as a silent protest against perceived behind-the-scenes drama, while others saw it as a calculated move to distance himself from the controversy.
Iyabo Ojo, a prominent figure in the campaign for justice for Mohbad, has yet to publicly respond to the incident or the unfollow. However, her involvement in the leaked conversations has raised questions about celebrity influence, transparency, and intentions behind activism in high-profile cases.
Meanwhile, VeryDarkMan continues to draw both criticism and praise for his whistleblowing tactics, as the Mohbad saga remains a hot-button issue in Nigeria’s entertainment and social media spheres.
