Controversial activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reignited public outrage over the unresolved death of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, by releasing an alleged phone conversation between show promoter Sam Larry and rapper Zlatan Ibile. The recording, now viral, captures Zlatan defending his silence on the matter, sparking demands for accountability.
In the audio, Zlatan is heard telling Sam Larry in Yoruba that he refuses to involve himself in the controversies surrounding Mohbad’s 2023 death, insisting it “doesn’t concern him.” He further alleges media distortion, citing a clipped video from a music video shoot that fueled bullying accusations against Sam Larry. “The media is toxic; they cropped the video to push an agenda,” Zlatan claims, adding that family pressure and fear of online backlash influenced his silence 1212.
