Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has been released from custody after reportedly being arrested and detained over alleged defamation of fellow artist Davido.
The news of his release was shared by social media personality Verydarkman (VDM) on August 29, 2024, through an Instagram post. In the video, Dammy Krane is seen alongside VDM, expressing his thanks for the support.
VDM captioned the post, “Dammykrane is out, dear @davido as you have honoured me by listening to my plea and granting my request in less than 4hrs God will honour you.””I believe God is giving him a second chance and I hope and believe he focuses on his music moving on. HE IS TALENTED AND I PRAY HIS TALENT SHINES so he will be distracted lol thank you DAVID ADELEKE,” he added, expressing gratitude to Davido for the singer’s release.
Dammy Krane’s release follows a public plea by Verydarkman the day before, urging Davido to show leniency.
In his post on August 28, 2024, VDM detailed an encounter at a police station where he found Dammy Krane in custody. He was at the station to thank the police officers for their assistance when a man informed him about a celebrity with dreadlocks being held in a cell. VDM recounted his conversation with Krane, who claimed that Davido was behind his arrest.
Following this, VDM returned to the cell with bundles of cash to support Dammy Krane.”I want to take money to him for food but now I want to beg David, you be my brother you’re not an oppressor. I know you have influence but you cannot use your influence to keep him there. I want to beg you, this is not who you are, this is not your personality… abeg! Give this guy a second chance,” VDM pleaded.
