Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has finally been released from police custody, almost a week after being detained for defaming his colleague, Davido.
Recall that days before Davido’s wedding, Dammy had called the singer a murderer, as he claimed that Davido was only getting married because Chioma caught him cheating.
His statement had gotten him into trouble as Davido’s lawyer gave him 24 hours to retract all offensive publications against Davido on his social media handles. He was also asked to refrain from further publication of defamatory statements against Davido on any platform or risk facing legal actions.
Last week, the singer was arrested and was set to face criminal charges for his defamatory statements and slanderous publications against the singer.
However, controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan weighed in on the case as he recounted seeing Dammy Krane in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) and appealed to Davido not to use his influence to prolong Krane’s custody.
In a recent development, Davido has dropped all charges and allowed his release.
In a video captured online, Dammy Krane, making his first public statement, appreciated Very Dark Man, whom he called his brother. Dammy admitted that he knew he said lots of words that weren’t supposed to be said, and he apologised. He reminded netizens that Davido is still his brother and they will find a major ground to resolve everything.
“I want to say a big thank you to my brother, Very Dark Man. I know you all weren’t expecting it. I know there were many words that ought not to be said, I apologize for this Tagbo-death allegation and all that. Make una still remember Davido is still my brother, and we are going to find a major ground to resolve everything”.

Raymond suggested: “Go to Davido directly and appeal to him…”
