Activist Vincent Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has committed to investigating serious allegations of fraud, forgery, and music royalty theft against prominent gospel music executive Ezekiel Thankgod, also referred to as Eezee Tee. This decision comes in light of increasing controversy surrounding the record label owner, who has been accused by several former signees of various unethical practices, including contract forgery, manipulation, rights theft, and financial mismanagement.
VDM’s determination to delve into this matter stems from a growing public outcry and the complexity of the claims made against Eezee Tee. In a recent statement, he acknowledged that he initially had no intention of getting involved. However, after thoroughly analyzing the situation and the various allegations, he felt a strong sense of responsibility to seek the truth.
“I will go find what I need to find,” VDM asserted, emphasizing his commitment to uncovering the facts. He elaborated, “I have seen the claims and the counterclaims, and I want to know what really happened.” His approach indicates a desire for transparency and accountability within the gospel music industry, which has been marred by these allegations.
Moreover, VDM raised concerns about alleged attempts to manipulate the narrative surrounding the controversy. He suggested that there may be efforts to sway public opinion through financial incentives offered to bloggers and media personalities. This manipulation, he argues, undermines the integrity of the situation and could distort the truth.
Expressing skepticism about some of the narratives circulating in the media, VDM vowed to conduct an independent investigation that would not be influenced by external pressures. “I will analyze the full video. Some people may not be happy about it, but it is what it is,” he stated, indicating his intention to scrutinize all available evidence thoroughly.
His commitment to uncovering the truth highlights the importance of ethical practices in the music industry and the need for accountability among those in positions of power. As VDM embarks on this investigation, many in the gospel music community are watching closely, hoping for a resolution that addresses the concerns raised by former artists and restores integrity to the industry.
