The Nigerian music world was recently shaken by an unexpected announcement on social media. Indeed, it was through the very famous social media influencer Verydarkman (VDM) that the news of Dammy Krane’s release was disclosed on August 29, 2024. In an Instagram post, the video showed the newly released Dammy Krane in the company of the influencer, expressing his gratitude towards the latter.
In his caption, VDM wrote: “Dammykrane is free, dear @davido, you have honored me by listening to my plea and granting my request in less than 4 hours. May God reward you.” A statement that highlighted Dammy Krane’s gratitude to VDM for intervening with Davido on his behalf.
Dammy Krane’s release comes a day after Verydarkman publicly pleaded for the singer, asking Davido to please release him. In a post dated August 28, 2024, VDM recounts an encounter at a police station where he saw Dammy Krane in custody. He says that, during his visit to thank the police for their help, he came across a man claiming to have seen a celebrity with dreadlocks in the cell.
A conversation with Dammy Krane brought to light an accusation of the arrest coming from Davido. Following this, VDM returned to the cell with wads of cash to help Dammy Krane in this delicate situation.
This story sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of the behind-the-scenes of the music industry, highlighting the complex relationships between artists, influencers, and media power. Ultimately, Dammy Krane’s release illustrates the power of social media and timely interventions in emergency situations. Hopefully, this second chance given to Dammy Krane will allow him to focus on his music and shine again in his talented field.
