Social media critic Verydarkman (VDM) has openly accused Pinovibes, the proprietor of the famous Instagram blog GossipMill, of emotional extortion and manipulation.
In a recent clip, VDM stated that he and Pinovibes were previously acquaintances, with their connection strengthening as the blogger frequently promoted his content. However, their rapport reportedly deteriorated after Pinovibes revealed his identity as the genius behind GossipMill.
VDM asserted that Pinovibes began pressuring him to endorse his personal Instagram account, a demand he consistently refused. He also charged the blogger with retaliating by distorting his remarks in blog entries to damage his reputation.
The social media commentator further claimed that Pinovibes participated in defamation campaigns, particularly during the scandal regarding VDM’s NGO funds. He alleged that the blogger asserted he had contributed N2 million to his NGO, only to later weaponize it against him.
Posting an 11-minute video on his profile, VDM voiced his frustration, stressing that he had no desire to forge partnerships with certain influencers.
“They are all identical. As soon as you decline to be exploited, they turn on you. GossipMill began banding together against me solely because of this guyman. I want you all to be prepared for when they attack. THE RATEL never fails. I don’t like fans and I don’t wish to be friends with you all, plain and simple,” he captioned the post.
