Kokopee, a close friend of VeryDarkMan, has explained his involvement in the disagreement between VDM and Davido, saying he only stepped in when their friendship began having problems.
He said both men contacted him separately, and he tried to help them understand each other’s sides. However, things became uncomfortable when VDM questioned why he was involving himself in Davido’s matter.
Kokopee said he eventually stepped back to avoid being accused of taking sides, although he still advises VDM privately.
In his words:
“When Davido and VDM started their friendship, I wasn’t there. When Davido invited him to Lagos to hang out, I wasn’t there. But when the friendship was about to sink, I was there.
“From what I know, VDM once called me to express his displeasure over something Davido did. When two people are discussing issues in their relationship, I can’t interfere. So, I advised VDM to reach out to Israel or Ubi. Davido also reached out to me to discuss the issue. I explained to him what he might have done that made VDM feel betrayed in their friendship, but Davido disagreed with me. I told him, ‘David, listen carefully. I know VDM very well, and he feels betrayed.’
“I then spoke to VDM to explain Davido’s side of things. There was a lot of back and forth. The next thing I heard was VeryDarkMan asking why I was carrying Davido’s matter on my head and whether Davido had promised me a free collaboration for my music. To avoid people saying I was betraying VDM, I decided to step back and leave the matter there.
“Two adults who are friends will always have their differences and agree to disagree. When the two of them are talking, I stay out of it. Privately, I advise VDM to manage the situation well with Davido. I can only offer advice; I can’t force them to do anything. Meanwhile, I’m promoting my music online, and people keep saying all sorts of things about me and coming for me.”
