VDM was not about to let it slide. The activist responded swiftly on Instagram, mocking both the timing and the tone of Zlatan's post. His caption read:

"When I see laughing emoji I know e don ENTER....you even leave wedding to tweet this, THE PAIN don start? You come for me you are the viktym, I come for you, you are still the viktym."*
