Activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has released an alleged leaked phone call between singers Lil Frosh and Zinoleesky, in which Lil Frosh claims Davido asked him to persuade Zinoleesky to leave Marlian Records. The recording has reopened debate over the death of singer Mohbad.
VDM posted the audio on his Instagram page on Monday. The recording has not been independently verified, and Davido has not responded to the claims.
The call was reportedly made about five days after Mohbad died in September 2023. In it, Lil Frosh asks Zinoleesky to keep their conversation private, then says Davido contacted him directly. He is quoted as relaying Davido’s words in Pidgin: “Call your brother make you warn am, make he comot from there.”
VDM said he held on to the recording for a long time before releasing it. He argued that Lil Frosh’s outreach to Zinoleesky at the time suggested guilt, and that he expected Lil Frosh to deny it, which is why he put out the audio. “This Mohbad case is personal. There is something to it,” he said, adding that he has more evidence he has yet to make public.
Zinoleesky reacted on X, saying attention had shifted to why he recorded the call. “Now d conversation changed to y I recorded 5 days after d whole country said we killed someone ok,” he wrote, before promoting his project, “Euphoria”.
Reactions online have been divided. Some fans insist the clip does not directly prove that Davido made the alleged request, while others have renewed calls for the Mohbad case to be reopened. Content creator Wahab Malik questioned VDM’s timeline before apologising over a detail he said he had misheard in the audio.
Singer Sam Larry also weighed in with a video on his Instagram story, accusing Lil Frosh of lying after he reportedly denied recording a voice note. Meanwhile, Davido was reported to have travelled to Tanzania with his wife, Chioma, without addressing the controversy.
VDM and Davido have been in a public feud for weeks. Lil Frosh was formerly signed to Davido’s DMW label, while Zinoleesky is a Marlian Records act.
