Controversial online personality VeryDarkMan (VDM) is once again in the news after recounting an unexpected altercation with fellow entertainer Mr. Jollof during a commercial flight. The confrontation, narrated in a viral video, has generated massive online commentary, with fans of both men grappling over who was at fault.
VDM claimed the disagreement began when he greeted the comedian on the aircraft, only to receive what he described as a “dismissive attitude.” According to him, the exchange quickly escalated when Mr. Jollof allegedly made remarks about VDM’s activism and online criticism, sparking a heated back-and-forth.
Passengers reportedly intervened, urging both men to calm down. Crew members also stepped in to prevent the argument from disrupting flight safety. While no physical altercation occurred, the tension was palpable, according to witnesses.
Mr. Jollof has not issued a full response, but hints from his stories suggest he believes VDM provoked the confrontation. Fans are split, with many accusing both men of “turning public spaces into battlegrounds.”
This incident adds to the ongoing rivalry between the two personalities, who have previously clashed online over political commentary, celebrity culture, and social issues. Analysts argue that their feud reflects a growing trend where influencers exploit controversy to maintain relevance.
Aviation observers have also criticized the incident, noting that any altercation on an aircraft, no matter how minor, poses security risks. Some Nigerians have called for airlines to establish stricter behavioral policies for high-profile passengers.
Despite backlash, VDM insists the encounter shows the extent to which public figures fear accountability. He maintains that his activism targets corruption and hypocrisy, not personal vendettas.
The drama, amplified by massive engagement on TikTok, X, and Instagram, underscores Nigeria’s evolving influencer landscape, where public confrontations often overshadow meaningful discourse.
