Mercy Chinwo: VDM backs Pastor Damina’s criticism of gospel artists charging high show fees like Davido

Damina's deduced rhetoric questions to gospel singers are clear: When you stand on a stage meant for ministry and demand the fees of a celebrity, you must ask yourself—are you still serving the kingdom, or have you become a performer in the theater of vanity?. Seizing upon these piercing insights, Verydarkman wielded them as a subtle yet stinging rebuke against Mercy Chinwo

Mercy Chinwo: VDM backs Pastor Damina’s criticism of gospel artists charging high show fees like Davido
  • In a relentless push to solidify his narrative of manipulation against Mercy Chinwo amid her contract turmoil with her ex-manager, Verydarkman dropped a scathing sermon from Pastor Abel Damina.
  • The fiery cleric didn’t mince words, ripped into Nigerian gospel musicians for abandoning their divine calling at the altar of profit.
  • With piercing candor, Damina accused them of prioritizing financial gain over the sacred duty of spreading the gospel, painted a damning picture of a faith corrupted by commerce.

Dr. Abel Damina, the fearless and outspoken Founder of Abel Damina Ministries International (ADMI) and CEO of Kingdom Life Network (KLN), has sent shockwaves through the gospel music industry with his explosive sermon, where he accused Nigerian gospel musicians of acting no different from their secular counterparts by charging exorbitant fees for shows.

His fiery words have now been amplified by controversial social media crusader, Martins Vincent Otse, aka Verydarkman (VDM), who has been on an unrelenting warpath against gospel sensation, Mercy Chinwo.

VDM, known for his no-holds-barred approach, had earlier slammed Mercy Chinwo, alleging that the video she shared against her ex-manager, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, aka Eezee Tee, over embezzlement and royalties was deliberately edited to manipulate public sympathy.

Now, in a fresh video, he has doubled down on his stance, backed his claims with a recording of Pastor Abel Damina, who categorically likened gospel singers to secular artists like Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage.

After playing the clip, VDM went in for the kill, threw down the gauntlet to Mercy Chinwo and her supporters. He refuted allegations that he had been paid to discredit her and challenged her fans to counter his claims—claims he insists are nothing but the cold, hard truth.
