Mark Vincent Otse, the elder brother of Nigerian online personality Vincent Martins Otse, popularly known as VDM, has publicly denied allegations that he sexually exploited women seeking access to his brother and threatened them with a cult group. In a video shared on Monday, August 10, 2026, Mark addressed the claims directly, dismissing them as baseless and vowing to respond to his accusers.
Allegations of Exploitation and Threats
The allegations, which circulated widely online, stemmed from a woman who claimed she approached Mark hoping he would connect her to VDM. Instead, she alleged that Mark demanded sexual favors before granting access and threatened to send a cult group known as the Vikings after her if she refused. The accuser further stated that she was not the only woman subjected to such treatment.
Mark, filming himself in what appeared to be a home studio, rejected the accusations outright. He described himself as a businessman with no interest in leveraging his brother's fame for personal gain, insisting he had no motive to coerce anyone. "I'm a very fine man, believe me. If I want to get any girl, I don't need to go through that means," he said in the video.
Mark's Defense and Warning
Mark acknowledged that he occasionally uses his relationship with VDM to assist people in genuine need but emphasized that he does not jump the queue for others seeking access. He also issued a warning to those behind the allegations, stating they would "hear from him soon," indicating potential further action.
The video has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some users questioned the strength of his rebuttal, with @DonLumzyAdams commenting, "This your rebuttal is very weak, I'm not even saying you guilty but this your defence makes you look more guilty." Others expressed skepticism about the future implications, as @kingumarr wrote, "Bookmark this!! This guy and him brother go get issue for future until then una go remember this."
Public Reactions and Context
Some social media users defended Mark, with @Unique_Tech_ asking, "Why are all of you like this? Because he's VDM's brother, he should be defamed and shouldn't speak out for himself? Wetin the VDM do una? E pass him own opinion wey he dey drop? Why una dey like this?" Meanwhile, @N_Ikay_ criticized the public for supporting VDM, writing, "Nigerians fed the VDM monster. See wetin the urchin dey spew unto say im don blow. Una sabi support rubbish for that country. Serves all of you right."
The controversy comes amid other developments involving VDM. Legit.ng reported that VDM announced his withdrawal from the P-Square family saga after alleging that Peter Okoye attempted to use him in the dispute. In a video, VDM apportioned 40% of the blame to Jude Okoye for refusing to step down as manager, while assigning the remaining 60% across Peter, his wife, and others involved. VDM also dismissed claims that Peter confided in him, insisting he was being unfairly targeted before declaring the matter closed.
Additionally, VDM recently broke his silence after losing 13,000 followers over the P-Square saga, a development that has further fueled public discourse around his actions and those of his family members.
