VDM Speaks Out Amid Rumours of Deportation from China

Popular Nigerian social media activist, VeryDarkMan (VDM), is once again at the centre of controversy — this time over claims that he was deported from China. Over the past few days, videos and posts began circulating online alleging that the outspoken content creator had been banned or forcibly removed from the country. The rumours, which spread rapidly on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, sparked debates among fans and critics, with some suggesting that VDM’s online persona may have clashed with Chinese authorities. However, VDM has taken to social media to debunk the claims, stating clearly that he was neither deported nor banned from China. In a video response, he described the rumours as false and accused online trolls of spreading misinformation to tarnish his image. He also hinted that he’s aware of the source behind the story and promised to address it in full detail later. While the full context of his visit to China remains unclear, the incident adds to VDM’s growing list of public controversies. Known for his blunt takes on Nigerian celebrities, government policies, and social issues, VDM continues to be a polarising figure both online and offline. As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Chinese immigration authorities regarding any action against him. Until then, the story remains one of social media speculation — and VDM, as always, is riding the wave.
