I gained nothing from her — VeryDarkMan fires back at Phyna
Popular social media influencer VeryDarkMan, popularly known as VDM, has responded after reality TV personality Phyna described him as a “Very Dirty Boy” and blamed him for the collapse of her relationship with actress Iyabo Ojo.
Phyna had earlier claimed that her closeness to VeryDarkMan significantly contributed to the strain between her and Iyabo Ojo.
In a detailed public response, VeryDarkMan said he was deeply disappointed by the accusation, maintaining that his support for Phyna was always sincere and without conditions.
He explained that he consistently showed up for the former reality star at different stages of her career, including reposting promotions for her movies and offering guidance on both personal and professional issues.
According to VDM, he made himself accessible whenever Phyna reached out whether she needed advice, paid promotional support, or help with family-related concerns stressing that he often listened and assisted without expecting anything in return.
He also questioned what benefit he personally derived from the relationship, emphasizing that his actions were motivated by loyalty and goodwill, not personal gain.
Reflecting on a past controversy, VeryDarkMan hinted that greed and certain choices eventually strained the relationship, adding that several people who once supported and promoted Phyna have since stepped back as public interest in her waned.
Despite the disagreement, the influencer concluded on a peaceful note, saying he bears no bitterness and sincerely wishes Phyna success in all her future pursuits.

“Now she no longer likes it and she no longer follows me. And I’m very sure it’s because of the dirty boy but it’s one I have to face”, Phyna said.
Recall that Verydarkman, a popular social media critic, is known for his online disputes with public figures, especially the actress.
