VDM, who played a role in advocating for Dammy Krane’s release, also commented on the situation, writing, “Dammykrane is out. Dear @davido, as you have honoured me by listening to my plea in less than 4 hours, God will honour you. I believe God is giving him a second chance, and I hope he focuses on his music moving forward.”
