The ongoing feud between social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) and content creator King Mitchy has taken a bizarre and theatrical turn. After King Mitchy’s management recently claimed she had passed away following a controversial “Sniper” ingestion stunt—a claim later debunked as a hoax—VDM decided to stage a “resurrection” of his own to mock the narrative.
In a viral video shared across his platforms on March 2, 2026, VDM appeared lying still under a white cloth, surrounded by “mourners” and candlelight, before suddenly jumping up to address his audience. The stunt was a direct jab at King Mitchy, whom he accused of using life-and-death scenarios to chase “cheap clout” and manipulate public sympathy. VDM didn’t hold back, labeling the entire “death and survival” saga a poorly scripted movie aimed at distracting from his initial criticisms of her philanthropic projects.
While VDM’s supporters hailed the move as “peak satire” and a necessary reality check for dangerous content creators, others have condemned the stunt as insensitive. Critics argue that faking death, even as a parody, trivializes mental health struggles and actual tragedies. Despite the backlash, the “resurrection” has dominated the trending charts, further cementing the toxic cycle of “stunt-for-stunt” that has characterized this rivalry. As the dust settles, the conversation has shifted toward the need for stricter regulations on “death hoaxes” within the Nigerian digital space.
