Phyno made the appeal mid-performance at the International Conference Centre, where VeryDarkMan stood beside him on stage, drawing loud reactions from the audience.
Blord is currently being held at the Kuje Correctional Centre over allegations of criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and unauthorised use of VeryDarkMan’s identity.
The legal dispute followed claims that Blord used the activist’s image in an advertisement without consent. A court has ordered his remand until April 27, 2026.
Addressing the issue publicly, Phyno said, “I have a request. I’m just going to say it, whether you respond or not is up to you. My brother, please withdraw the case. I know I didn’t tell you about it, but withdraw the case.” Phyno did not mention Blord by name, but the reference to the ongoing case was widely understood.
VeryDarkMan did not respond to the appeal during the performance, leaving the moment hanging in a tense silence that underscored the gravity of the situation.
The concert, curated by Director Pink, marked a major homecoming for Phyno and featured performances from top acts including Olamide, Jeriq, Aguero Banks, Wande Coal, Cheque, Tuffking, Qing Madi, and Evado.
In a lighter moment, Phyno brought his daughter on stage, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the high-energy event.
