Martins Vincent Otse, better known as Verydarkman (VDM), is no stranger to controversy, but the latest chapter in his saga has tongues wagging across Nigeria. The outspoken activist, arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on May 2, 2025, is making headlines not just for alleged financial crimes but for a spicy slice of his past: his days as an adult content creator. Whispers of sold photos, mistaken identities, and charity-fueled redemption have resurfaced, hooking fans and foes alike. But is this old scandal linked to his current legal woes, or is it just gossip too good to ignore?
Rewind to the COVID era, when VDM, then a lesser-known figure, reportedly ran a side hustle selling adult photos and videos through a platform called Black Epiphany. Sources confirm he pocketed cash from eager buyers, including a surprising twist that many were men, not the women he initially assumed. One tale claims his first Western Union payment opened his eyes to this reality, prompting him to hike his prices. With earnings allegedly hitting thousands of dollars, VDM’s hustle was no small fry. But here’s the kicker: he says much of that money went to charity, a claim that’s got hearts melting and skeptics squinting, as no hard evidence backs it up.
Fast-forward to 2025, and VDM’s past is back like a boomerang, fueled by his EFCC arrest. The agency nabbed him over “sundry issues of alleged financial crimes,” tied to petitions about unauthorized bank transactions, including a messy GTBank saga involving his mother’s account. Social media buzzed with speculation: could his adult content earnings, possibly undeclared or mishandled, be part of the EFCC’s probe? Experts say it’s unlikely. The EFCC’s focus is on financial misconduct, not his steamy past, which falls outside their usual beat. Still, the timing of these resurfaced stories is suspiciously perfect, painting VDM as a man whose history won’t stay buried.
What makes this tale irresistible is VDM’s own narrative, shared in a now-viral 45 min video and fans can’t stop dissecting. He allegedly admitted to his content-creating days, confessing he quit after two fans professed their love post-marriage and others offered life-changing sums to keep it going. “I’m done with that lifestyle,” he reportedly declared, choosing charity over chasing more cash. Yet, with no savings to show for it, he called himself “phoolish” for giving it all away, a raw moment that left some crying and others questioning his motives.
The gossip mill churns. Is he a reformed giver haunted by a wild past, or is this just another layer of his controversial persona? One thing’s clear: his story of scandal, redemption, and legal drama is a rollercoaster you can’t look away from. Whether the EFCC’s case ties back to his old hustle or not, Verydarkblackman’s saga proves one truth: no past stays hidden when you’re in the spotlight.
