Dammy Krane Debunks N180 Million Fraud Allegations, Reveals It Was a Prank
Controversial Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has clarified allegations of a N180 million fraud involving popular critic and social commentator, Verydarkman (VDM), describing the incident as a well-orchestrated prank.
The saga began when VDM claimed in a viral video that his NGO’s website had been hacked, resulting in the loss of substantial donations earmarked for charitable initiatives. The news triggered widespread outrage online, with many calling for an investigation into the alleged cyberattack.
However, in an unexpected twist, Dammy Krane took to Instagram to post a video featuring himself and VDM, revealing that the entire controversy was staged. In the video, the singer playfully stated, “Una no expect am abi?” while the caption read, “It was a prank. VDM is renovating a school in Jos.”
The revelation has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. While some expressed relief that the fraud claims were unfounded, others criticized the duo for trivializing such a serious matter.
“I’m glad no fraud happened, but this isn’t the kind of joke we need right now,” one user commented. Another added, “VDM’s commitment to renovating a school is admirable, but the approach was in bad taste.”
The prank has also reignited conversations about the ethics of using sensitive topics like fraud for publicity stunts. Despite the backlash, VDM’s use of the alleged donations for a school renovation project in Jos has been widely praised, aligning with his known dedication to humanitarian efforts.
As the dust settles, many are left wondering if the duo’s stunt achieved its intended goal or merely backfired, creating more controversy than awareness.
