Social media activist Verydarkman (VDM) has escalated his involvement in the ongoing Psquare saga by publicly questioning the financial records presented by Jude Okoye concerning singer Cynthia Morgan and putting his own money on the line to uncover the truth.
In a selfie-style video posted from Abuja, VDM revealed that Jude Okoye had provided him with a catalogue indicating that Cynthia Morgan's music generated $4,635,000 in streaming and distribution revenue between 2015 and 2024. The activist expressed deep skepticism about these figures, arguing that they are far lower than the "hundreds of thousands of dollars" that Peter Okoye had claimed Cynthia Morgan earned during her time under Jude's Northside Entertainment label.
VDM Accuses Jude of Lying
"I think that Jude is lying. How can you say that from 2015 to 2024, Cynthia Morgan's catalog generated only $4,635,000?" VDM said in the clip, also pointing out a separate naira distribution figure of 7.3 million over the same period. He questioned the plausibility of these numbers, suggesting they do not add up given Cynthia Morgan's popularity and the alleged earnings reported by Peter Okoye.
VDM's challenge comes amid renewed public interest in the Psquare financial disputes, which have seen the Okoye brothers trading accusations over mismanagement of funds and royalties. The activist's intervention has added a new layer of scrutiny to the claims, with many followers awaiting further developments.
VDM Stakes Up to N50 Million on the Truth
Rather than leaving the dispute to social media debate, VDM proposed putting money behind a proper investigation. He offered to deposit up to N50 million into a jointly monitored account, challenging other content creators and members of the public to match or pool funds. A lawyer would then commission an independent audit of the Cynthia Morgan catalog to determine whether her actual earnings reached at least $100,000.
"If it has made a hundred thousand dollars, you take my 50 million naira, and all of us will go after Jude NG. But if it hasn't made that, it means there are a lot of holes in the story," he stated. This bold move is intended to force transparency and ensure that the true earnings are revealed, rather than relying on potentially manipulated documents.
VDM drew parallels with the Mohbad case, recalling how documents were forged during that saga, which he said taught him never to accept any narrative at face value, no matter how convincing it appeared. He emphasized the need for verifiable evidence in such disputes, especially when large sums of money are involved.
VDM Apologizes and Retracts
However, shortly after posting the video, VDM updated his caption with a public apology, writing: "I am very sorry for my previous videos. Jude Engees Okoye lied and deceived me. Jude, now I know what Cynthia Morgan went through. Jude Engees really used me." This sudden reversal has left many followers puzzled, with some speculating that VDM may have received new information or faced pressure from parties involved.
The apology has sparked a fresh wave of reactions, with fans questioning the authenticity of VDM's initial claims and the motives behind his sudden change of stance. Some have accused him of being manipulated, while others believe he may have uncovered new evidence that changed his perspective.
Fans React to VDM's Intervention
Reactions from followers were divided, reflecting the polarized nature of the Psquare saga. @evagrin_91 wrote: "So ur mind no tell u that catalogue can be compromise, what if it's forged and it's not the original copy??" This comment highlights a common concern among fans about the reliability of the financial documents presented.
@pinkylove713 commented: "I'm a Ratel but I like Peter ❤️? VDM can do no wrong in my eye. Everything Peter said about the whole thing I'm in support ?" This shows the strong support Peter Okoye enjoys from some quarters, as well as the trust placed in VDM's judgment.
Other reactions included @marineyuan7's "Twister ?" and @absutrends's "Police dey find you," referencing VDM's ongoing legal troubles. @iam_jdm1 said: "You are super smart brother ❗️??" while @d_last_born_benevile commented: "PRESIDO YOU REST FOR THIS CASE NAH! Focus on AIG ? the point here is JUDE sha tiff money ??♂️" This last comment suggests that even amid the apology, many fans still believe Jude Okoye may have misappropriated funds.
Context of VDM's Recent Activities
VDM's encounter with thugs in Ibadan has also been a topic of discussion. Legit.ng previously reported that VDM shared a video of his encounter with alleged armed thugs in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. In the clip, VDM and protesters confronted the intruders directly, with the critic claiming they were armed with bottles and stones. This incident adds to the activist's reputation for confronting issues head-on, both online and offline.
The Psquare saga continues to unfold, with fans and observers eagerly awaiting the outcome of VDM's proposed investigation, even as his apology raises new questions about the veracity of his claims. The involvement of a prominent activist like VDM has brought renewed attention to the financial disputes within the Okoye family, and it remains to be seen how the situation will resolve.
