Deji Adeyanju, the lawyer representing social media critic Martins Otse, known as Verydarkman, has responded to Mercy Chinwo’s defamation lawsuit against his client.
The gospel singer has taken legal action, seeking N1.1 billion in damages. She also demands a public apology, a retraction of all allegations, and for VDM to appear in court within 14 days.
VDM previously gained attention for criticizing Chinwo over her past issues with her former label boss, Eezee Tee, suggesting that her claims seemed questionable.
In reaction to the lawsuit, Adeyanju posted on X, mocking the case and stating that his client lacks the funds to pay such a hefty sum.
“I heard somebody sued VDM for N1.1billion and I laughed so hard. What I know is that VDM does not have N100k anywhere in the world to give anyone. People just be wasting their time for nothing,” he wrote.
