Zlatan Ibile’s New Song Snippet Sparks VDM Reactions
Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile has got social media buzzing after previewing a new song with lyrics that appear to take a swipe at controversial activist VeryDarkMan (VDM). The snippet from his upcoming collaboration, Inferno, has attracted attention because of its reference to “Vincent” and masturbation, prompting fans to connect the lyrics to the activist’s past public comments.
The song, featuring Peruzzi and Shodaya, is scheduled for release on October 29, 2026.
Zlatan’s Lyrics Spark Speculation About VeryDarkMan
The rapper’s preview includes a line that has quickly become a talking point among listeners.
“I no be Vincent I no fit Mastub@te”
The snippet also reportedly includes a reference comparing someone to VeryDarkMan’s “soapy” controversy. Although Zlatan’s lyrics have prompted fans to interpret the song as a jab at VDM, the snippet alone does not establish the rapper’s intended target.
VeryDarkMan also known an Vincent, had previously spoke publicly about his experience with soapy in 2024, opening up about his struggle with the habit and encouraging others involved in it to stop as early as possible.
The apparent connection between those comments and Zlatan’s lyrics has fuelled online discussions ahead of the full song’s release.
