He has also collaborated with other top comedians and media personalities, further cementing his place in the entertainment industry. Dee-One has been involved in several high-profile online disputes, particularly on issues concerning media ethics, misinformation, and social justice. One of his most significant controversies was his feud with Martin Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, over allegations surrounding the Nedu Foundation scandal. The controversy started when Dee-One appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, hosted by Nedu Wazobia. During the discussion, he made explosive claims, alleging that: Martin Otse (Verydarkman) is gay, Otse embezzled ₦20 million from an NGO fund. In response, Martin Otse launched an online smear campaign against Nedu Wazobia, accusing him of defrauding a non-existent UK-based charity of ₦60 million.

Despite this, Dee-One continues to use his Instagram platform daily to challenge and reprimand Verydarkman, maintaining that an investigation is still ongoing. Dee-One’s outspoken stance has sparked mixed reactions across digital platforms. While some appreciate his commitment to exposing alleged fraud and misinformation, others criticize him for making serious allegations without concrete evidence. Regardless of the controversy, Dee-One remains vocal and unrelenting, positioning himself as a watchdog against media manipulation and deception in Nigeria’s digital space.
