VDM drags Daddy Freeze
TheTalk.NG previously reported that VDM joined the league of celebrities who reacted to Pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s alleged fraud and deportation saga after it went viral online.
The clergy had lost his bid to appeal against the ruling of a tribunal in the UK that ordered his deportation over an alleged £1.87 million fraud.
He also dragged Daddy Freeze for not being truthful about Pastor Tobi Adegboyega. He gave the media personality an unprintable name.
