In a lawsuit filed on March 3, Mercy Chinwo’s lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, referred to comments made by social media commentator Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, as “libellous, malicious, and damaging” to the singer’s reputation. Olajengbesi further alleged that Chinwo had violated her contract with the record label before parting ways.
Gospel singer Mercy Chinwo has initiated legal action against VeryDarkMan for defamation. In February, the commentator accused Chinwo of diverting funds from her performances without settling payments to her former record label, which is owned by Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu.
