Dammy Krane's release comes a day after Verydarkman publicly pleaded on the singer's behalf, appealing to Davido to kindly let him go. In his post on August 28, 2024, VDM described an encounter at a police station where he witnessed Dammy Krane in custody. According to VDM, he was visiting the station to thank police officers who had assisted him in his work. During his visit, he encountered a man who claimed to have seen a celebrity with dreadlocks in a cell.

VDM recounted the conversation with Krane, who stated that Davido was responsible for his arrest. Afterwards, he returned to the cell with bundles of cash to give to Dammy Krane.

"I want to take money to him for food but now I want to beg David, you be my brother you're not an oppressor. I know you have influence but you cannot use your influence to keep him there. I want to beg you, this is not who you are, this is not your personality.. abeg! Give this guy a second chance," VDM begged.
