Popular social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM), whose real name is Martin Vincent Ortse, has revealed why he was absent from the wedding of influencer Peller and his bride Jarvis, which was held in Lagos on Saturday, August 1, 2026.

Speaking during a TikTok live session, VDM said he made a deliberate choice to stay away from Lagos because he fears being set up by enemies he has recently acquired in the state.

VDM specifically pointed to a fractured relationship with the Lagos Police as a key reason he could not attend.

"Unfortunately I could not go to Lagos because I have so many enemies, right? I have bigger enemies now in Lagos, right now, and the Lagos police right now — We are not friends. Immediately I go into Lagos, there's a high chance that I might be set up, so that's why I could not go to Lagos. But I have the asoebi here, unfortunately," he said.

VDM sends warm wishes to Peller and Jarvis

Despite the absence, VeryDarkMan made it clear his affection for the couple remains intact.

He revealed that he streamed the event remotely and found himself smiling throughout, describing it as a beautiful ceremony.

The social media activist added that he genuinely cares for Peller, which is why he tends not to take offence when the influencer does things he disagrees with.

VDM also extended his blessings to the couple's unborn child, expressing belief that Peller has a bright future and will one day use his platform for meaningful impact.

"Their marriage is blessed, and the child that they are expecting is blessed as well, you understand? That boy has a very bright future in the country. He's going to use his influence one day for something," he said.

VDM shares why he stopped talking to Davido

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that VeryDarkMan revealed why his relationship with Davido soured.

He explained that the singer distanced himself after he rejected a ₦50 million offer to campaign for Davido’s uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

VDM also recalled urging Davido to fulfil his $5,000 promise to a Ghanaian boy, which eventually led to payment after his reminder.
