Popular Nigerian content creator King Mitchy has publicly denied allegations of drug use after being drawn into a viral social media dispute involving critic VeryDarkMan and former BBNaija winner Phyna.
The controversy, which has dominated online conversations in recent days, reportedly began when Phyna accused VeryDarkMan of attempting to exploit her during a sensitive period surrounding her late sister’s case linked to the Dangote Group. The accusation quickly sparked a wave of reactions, drawing in other personalities, including King Mitchy.
In a video that has since gone viral across multiple platforms, King Mitchy dismissed the allegations made against her and presented what she described as hospital test results to counter claims of substance abuse.
“I’m still at the hospital. Look at the name Grandville, this is my test result,” she said while displaying documents in the video. “I don’t do cocaine, I don’t do marijuana. I’m negative of all the substance allegations, everything here is negative.”
She went further to directly call out VeryDarkMan, accusing him of repeatedly spreading misinformation about individuals online.
“VeryDarkMan, you lie too much. You lie on people’s names and try to destroy them,” she said, her tone firm and visibly emotional.
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between social media influencers and online commentators in Nigeria, where personal disputes often escalate rapidly in the public domain. While VeryDarkMan has built a following for his outspoken criticism of public figures, he has also faced backlash in the past over claims of unverified accusations.
Phyna, who rose to prominence after winning Big Brother Naija, has not issued a detailed follow-up statement since her initial claim, but her remarks appear to have triggered the chain of events now unfolding publicly.
The Dangote Group, referenced in the background of the dispute, has not commented on the matter, and there is no indication that the company is directly involved in the personal allegations being exchanged.
As the situation continues to unfold, social media users remain divided. Some have rallied behind King Mitchy, praising her for providing evidence to support her claims, while others are calling for caution and urging all parties to resolve their differences offline.
With tensions still high and no clear resolution in sight, the episode underscores the growing influence, and volatility, of digital platforms in shaping public narratives and personal reputations.
