VDM Speaks Out on DJ Chicken's Arrest
Popular activist and content creator Verydarkman (VDM), whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse, has publicly defended fellow online personality DJ Chicken following the latter's arrest over comments about taking the life of the president's son. In a video shared on Instagram on 9 July 2026, VDM expressed disbelief that law enforcement would focus on DJ Chicken, insisting the creator posed no genuine threat.
VDM acknowledged that DJ Chicken's remarks were criminal and out of line. However, he argued that anyone familiar with the content creator would understand the comments were not a real threat. According to VDM, the motivation behind the statement was likely a bid for attention rather than any intention to cause harm. He pointed out that people who make such threats publicly are rarely capable of acting on them.
VDM: 'You Are Wasting Your Time'
In the video, VDM said, barely concealing his disbelief: "You go waste time, say na DJ Chicken you wan go carry. Of all persons, DJ Chicken." He maintained that the creator was no physical danger, adding: "All those people who fit talk dem no fit hurt anybody. Dem fit use mouth hurt or insult you, I don't think somebody like Chicken can do that."
VDM did concede that the authorities had a point in making an arrest. He noted that allowing DJ Chicken to walk free without consequence could embolden others to make similar statements. "If you give DJ Chicken a free pass, another person can come out tomorrow and say he will take someone's life," he said.
