Social media activist VeryDarkMan, popularly known as VDM, has released an audio recording of a phone conversation in which singer Lil Frosh allegedly claimed that Davido asked him to persuade fellow artiste Zinoleesky to leave Marlian Records.
The recording, which VeryDarkMan said was made on September 17, 2023, has renewed discussions about the controversy surrounding late singer Mohbad and the activities of artistes associated with Marlian Records.
In the audio, Lil Frosh could be heard telling Zinoleesky that Davido had contacted him and requested that he advise his fellow singer to leave the record label.
According to the recording, Lil Frosh said Davido had asked to meet him and instructed him to warn Zinoleesky about remaining with the label.
“Davido have just messaged me. He said he wants to see me on Wednesday. He said call your brother, make you warn am. Davido called me and then said, ‘Call your brother, make he comot for there, leave Marlians Record,’” Lil Frosh reportedly said.
Zinoleesky appeared surprised by the statement and questioned whether Davido had personally contacted Lil Frosh to deliver the message.
“Davido called you to ask me to leave?” he asked.
The audio was released by VeryDarkMan, who said he had kept the recording for a long time before deciding to make it public.
Explaining why he had previously remained silent, the activist said the recording was part of the reason he had attempted to reach Davido to obtain clarification about the alleged conversation.
“I have the call recording for the longest, but I kept it,” VDM said.
He expressed disappointment over the reported timing of the conversation, pointing out that it allegedly took place on September 17, 2023, just five days after Mohbad died on September 12.
VeryDarkMan also claimed that he had expected Lil Frosh to publicly deny the allegation and insisted that the recording was not the only material he had concerning the matter.
The activist further suggested that he had been monitoring developments involving the individuals mentioned in the controversy and had additional material he could release.
However, the recording contains Lil Frosh’s claim about what Davido allegedly told him. It does not independently establish that Davido made the reported request or explain the circumstances behind the alleged conversation.
The latest development has brought renewed attention to the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death and the wider controversy involving artistes connected to Marlian Records.
A response from Davido, Lil Frosh or Zinoleesky addressing the newly released recording was not included in the report.
