Content creator and former Big Brother Naija housemate Aderombi Adedayo Martin, popularly known as Deeone, has sparked fresh controversy after traveling to Iwo, Osun State, on Thursday, July 17, 2026, to confront the Oluwo of Iwo over the chieftaincy title reportedly conferred on activist and content creator Verydarkman (VDM).
Deeone's Mission at the Palace
In footage that has gone viral on social media, Deeone explained that his sole reason for the trip was to present what he described as a private video of VDM directly to the king, arguing that the monarch deserved to know the true character of the person he had honored. Standing outside the palace, Deeone insisted his actions were driven by a genuine desire to see Nigeria progress, not by personal grudges.
"Some people will say na jealousy," he acknowledged, adding, "I want Nigeria to be a great country, I want the country to move forward." He claimed that Osun State had more deserving individuals who could have received such a traditional title and demanded clarity on what the chieftaincy appointment truly represented.
Public Reactions to Deeone's Visit
The clip spread rapidly across platforms, drawing a largely disbelieving reaction from Nigerians online. Many users questioned his motives and mental state. @muyimastermixer_mmm wrote: "This guy go runnnnn maaaad very sooooon oooooooo." @ramsonisaiah001 observed: "This one want to trend by all means." @festusrobinson said: "Deeone u no get level."
