A heated clash between social media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), and comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, aka Mr Jollof, has sparked outrage online after a physical altercation aboard a commercial flight.

A viral video circulating on Monday captured the duo exchanging blows inside a United Nigeria Airlines flight reportedly traveling from Asaba, Delta State, to Lagos. The fight caused chaos onboard as passengers tried to intervene, and airline crew eventually deboarded the two celebrities, handing them over to airport security for questioning.

VDM later confirmed the altercation on his Facebook page, proudly claiming he had “dealt with” Mr Jollof. In follow-up footage, he lifted his shirt to reveal bite marks on his chest, commenting, “He bite me… man wey dey bite, he no shame. I enter plane, I see am. I say, ‘You go slap me today o.’ I go near am, he punch me. He don spoil my tattoo now with him teeth wey he no brush.”

The incident has reignited discussions about their long-standing online feud. Social media users were quick to weigh in, with reactions ranging from disapproval to support.

Some slammed the celebrities for their behavior:

  • @amagracie: “Two overgrown shameless adults. As long as they are not related to me, may the most shameless win the fight.”

  • @afrimoda_fabrics: “Wow, this is so embarrassing, like two grown adults, watch their supporters come defend this big embarrassment.”

  • @nacamoto_556: “Aviation Authorities suppose place ban on both parties.”

Others sided with VDM, celebrating the showdown as a rare instance of online bants turning into real-life action:

  • @_sheikh_akmal: “How it’s supposed to be. No be everything be social media.”

  • @iamkingdinero1: “Please, others should learn from them, after online bants when Una see each other anywhere. Please, we want to see some actions, not the ones Una go act like Una no see each other, GOOD JOB VDM AND JOLLOF.”

The incident has left Nigerians debating the limits of celebrity behavior, online feuds, and public decency, with many calling for aviation authorities to consider stricter sanctions.
