Nigerian activist and outspoken social critic, VeryDarkMan, has once again stirred controversy as he announces the release of a diss track aimed at popular gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo. This announcement comes shortly after the singer reportedly filed a lawsuit against him. In an unexpected twist, VeryDarkMan also disclosed his plans to feature the controversial street-hop artist, Portable, on the track.
The revelation surfaced through a viral post making rounds on social media, particularly on the microblogging platform, X (formerly known as Twitter). The post included a video where VeryDarkMan was seen energetically dancing to an unreleased song titled *Body of Christ*, which he described as a direct jab at Mercy Chinwo.
In the clip, VeryDarkMan engaged his audience by seeking their opinions on who he should feature on the song. He emphasized his desire to collaborate with someone who, in his words, possesses a “deep spiritual depth,” further hinting at his sarcastic approach to the situation.
He then revealed his choice—Portable—stating that despite Portable’s history of controversies, he believes the singer embodies more spiritual authenticity than Mercy Chinwo. VeryDarkMan assured his followers that he would reach out to Portable via direct message (DM) to finalize the collaboration.
In the video, VeryDarkMan could be heard saying:
“My single is out—*Body of Christ*. I’m thinking of featuring someone holier. In my opinion, this person is even holier than Mercy Chinwo.”
“I believe this person has the spirit of Christ in him. I want someone way better than her—someone with real spiritual depth.”
“Portable, I’ll be in your DM. I want you on this song because you’re spiritually inclined. Forget our differences—I believe you have more spirituality in Christ than Mercy Chinwo.”
Following his announcement, the internet quickly erupted with reactions. While some found his statements amusing, others criticized him for being disrespectful and unnecessarily confrontational. Many social media users weighed in on the matter, with some questioning his continuous need for controversy and others expressing anticipation for the song.
