Controversial activist VeryDarkMan has declared his intention to seek compensation from Wizkid for using his viral ‘don’t play’ line in the song “Diamond.”
In a video, he called out Nigerians for not alerting him earlier about the musician incorporating his popular phrase.
VeryDarkMan clarified that he had already trademarked the line and asserted that if he takes Wizkid to court, he has a strong chance of winning the case.
This declaration suggests a potential legal dispute over the use of the trademarked phrase in Wizkid’s song.
He ended the video appreciating Wizkid for using his line while admitting that he’s not forcing him to send him money but he will appreciate if he is given.
