Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has been released from police custody after reportedly being arrested and detained over alleged defamation of fellow artist Davido. The news of his release was shared by social media personality Verydarkman (VDM) on August 29, 2024, through an Instagram post. In the video, Dammy Krane, newly released, is seen expressing his gratitude to VDM.

Dammy Krane's release came a day after VDM publicly pleaded on the singer's behalf, urging Davido to let him go. On August 28, 2024, VDM recounted an encounter at a police station where he saw Dammy Krane in custody. According to VDM, he had visited the station to thank officers who had assisted him in his work, when he encountered a man claiming to have seen a celebrity with dreadlocks in a cell.

VDM described his conversation with Dammy Krane, who alleged that Davido was responsible for his arrest. VDM later returned to the cell with bundles of cash to support Dammy Krane and appealed to Davido, saying, "I want to take money to him for food, but now I want to beg David—you’re my brother, not an oppressor. I know you have influence, but you cannot use it to keep him there. I beg you, this is not who you are, this is not your personality... please! Give this guy a second chance."
