Dancer and singer Idowu Smart Emmanuel, aka Lil Smart, has said he did not show up in Abuja after social media critic Verydarkman (VDM) gave him N1 million for flight ticket because he does not trust him.

He described VDM’s concern on his case as suspicious and said it was the reason he ghosted him. Lil Smart said another reason for his action was due to how VDM had handled the late singer Mohbad’s case. He recalled how the deceased’s case was blamed on DNA of his little son Liam.

Earlier, Lil Smart had accused singers Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, and Zinoleesky of beating him and attempted to kidnap him. He expressed sadness and said he was going to take up the case, and it spurred VDM, real name Vincent Otse, to wade into the issue.

After Lil Smart did not turn up so that VDM can help him pursue the case with the Abuja Police Command, the social media critic asked him to return his money because he wasn’t interested in his allegations against Naira Marley and Zinoleesky anymore.
