The ongoing public dispute between popular content creator Carter Efe and his baby mama, Emmanuella, has taken a new turn with the intervention of controversial online activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
VDM's Plan to Support Emmanuella
In a video collage that went viral on Saturday, January 13, 2026, the president of the Ratel group outlined his intentions to assist Emmanuella. The activist stated that he had already provided her with a platform to share her side of the story. Furthermore, VDM offered to give her a loan to revive her hair business, which she had reportedly complained was suffering due to lack of funds.
VDM painted a sympathetic picture of Emmanuella's situation, claiming she is an orphan with little support. He advised her to consider live streaming as a potential source of income, noting that many people earn from it. "Start streaming, I go be your first guest," VDM declared, promising to support her new venture.
The Root of VDM's Grievance with Carter Efe
The activist's involvement is not purely altruistic, as he openly addressed his past issues with Carter Efe. VDM played videos in his post where Carter Efe allegedly spoke against him. He accused the skit maker of trying to bring him down when he first started his activism career.
VDM criticized Carter Efe's treatment of Emmanuella, suggesting the content creator had been treating her poorly and would continue to do so. This personal history adds a layer of complexity to VDM's sudden offer of help to Carter's former partner.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Netizens
The online community reacted swiftly and with skepticism to VDM's video. Many commenters on Instagram questioned his motives, with some suggesting he might have romantic feelings for Emmanuella.
One user, @slim_burst, commented pointedly, "Ella dey enter ya eyes Abi?" implying VDM was attracted to her. Another, @tilda7ose, stated, "Am not in support of Carter here but you are speaking for her just because u want to take revenge on Carter Efe."
However, not all reactions were negative. Some users praised VDM for stepping in to help someone he portrayed as vulnerable. @digitalwealth_winnie commented, "God bless VDM. The fact she is orphan and an only child breaks my heart."
The feud began when Carter Efe publicly accused Emmanuella of denying him access to their daughter, sparking a wave of commentary from various Nigerian celebrities. VDM's latest move ensures this personal drama remains in the public eye, blending elements of celebrity gossip, online activism, and personal vendetta.
