The feud between VeryDarkMan’s camp and comedian-reality star DeeOne took a decisive turn over the weekend, as Rivers State Police arrested VeryBlackman, a prominent Ratel supporter and reportedly VeryDarkMan’s brother.
According to sources close to the development, the arrest was carried out on Saturday after Veryblackman allegedly failed to respond to a police invitation tied to accusations that he had threatened DeeOne’s life.
His refusal to report voluntarily appears to have triggered a more forceful response from law enforcement, culminating in his arrest and subsequent transfer to Lagos on Sunday, a move many observers see as a signal that authorities are treating the matter with some urgency.
DeeOne, visibly relieved by the outcome, took to Instagram to celebrate what she framed as vindication. “Arrested and swift to Lagos! Next time you won’t threaten someone’s life,” she wrote, adding a note of appreciation for the police: “Kudos to the Nigerian Police for doing their job.”
The roots of the standoff trace back to June 2026, when VeryBlackman was accused of issuing a direct death threat against DeeOne in apparent retaliation for her public criticism of VeryDarkMan.
The threat did not go unnoticed it sparked swift condemnation across Nigeria’s entertainment and social media space, with figures such as Mario Wazobia and Broda Mike among those publicly demanding that he be brought to book.
Saturday’s arrest, then, marks the first concrete legal consequence in a saga that has simmered for weeks, and it will likely be watched closely by both camps as an indicator of how far the case could go, whether toward formal charges or a quieter resolution once tempers cool.
As of this report, the Rivers State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement detailing the charges Veryblackman may face, and it remains unclear whether he has since been released, charged, or remains in custody in Lagos. This is a developing story.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
VeryBlackman, a prominent Ratel figure and reportedly VeryDarkMan’s brother, was arrested by Rivers State Police on Saturday and moved to Lagos on Sunday over a death threat he allegedly made against comedian DeeOne back in June 2026, after criticism she leveled at VeryDarkMan.
Threats made online can carry real legal consequences; his failure to honor a police invitation appears to have accelerated the arrest, and DeeOne has publicly credited the police for acting on the case.
