Influencer Fallout: VDM and China Ross Clash Over Business Allegations

Social‑media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM) once publicly endorsed China Ross, a businessman widely known for helping Nigerians import goods from China. But earlier this week, VDM publicly withdrew his support—claiming that Ross had scammed a Nigerian woman out of a full container of goods and that his business practices were now questionable. [1] Ross Boss fired back with video evidence, accusing VDM of fabricating the story to drum up attention and asking him to provide proof of the container loss. The dispute has highlighted larger issues beyond their feud—namely the risks of cross‑border trade, the power of influencers, and the fine line between genuine activism and attention‑driven content. A Chinese business contact came forward, defending Ross Boss, stating that no illegal ads or shady deals were involved and vouching for legitimate operations. Meanwhile, others allege that VDM’s critics are accusing him of engaging in controversy for the sake of visibility—not necessarily for justice.
