VeryDarkMan has publicly thanked Blord after the tech entrepreneur withdrew his cease-and-desist order over the use of the Ratel label, ending a tense back-and-forth between the two figures. The controversy began when Blord declared his intention to become the sole owner of the Ratel name — a brand widely associated with VeryDarkMan and his fanbase — and threatened legal action to enforce his claim. In response, VeryDarkMan insisted that Ratel goes beyond trademarks, saying, “There can only be one Ratel. True ownership is about authenticity, not paperwork.” Hours later, Blord revealed that he had been contacted by “top men across the country,” influential figures who asked him to show mercy and allow VeryDarkMan to continue using the brand. Following this, Blord announced he was withdrawing the cease-and-desist order and instructed that fans now recognize VeryDarkMan as their CEO, signing off as Linus Williams — CEO/Founder, Ratel Groups. In a video response, VeryDarkMan expressed gratitude, visibly emotional and with tears in his eyes, thanking Blord for rescinding the legal action. Some observers have questioned whether his appreciation was entirely sincere, given his earlier pointed remarks. The episode underscores the ongoing debate over branding, authenticity, and influence in Nigeria’s digital space, with Ratel remaining a central symbol of VeryDarkMan’s identity and online presence.   View this post on Instagram  

VeryDarkMan (VDM) has responded to claims that Blord secured the legal trademark for “Ratel,” insisting that true ownership comes from authenticity, not legal documents. “Being the ratel goes beyond trademark, son. There can only be one ratel. Only the person with the real ratel is the ratel. There’s only one ratel,” VDM said while interacting with a live ratel, highlighting the animal’s uniqueness as a reflection of his brand. His comments come amid online debates over the commercialization and registration of personal and cultural trademarks, with VDM arguing that genuine originality matters more than formal recognition. Fans on social media reacted with mixed opinions—some applauded his emphasis on authenticity, while others questioned how his perspective aligns with intellectual property laws. “Being the ratel goes beyond trademark son, there can only be one ratel” -VeryDarkMan responds as he plays with the real ratel animal 🦔 🙆🏼‍♂️ https://t.co/sSpeqspN5D pic.twitter.com/NQYA60DJzN — Oyindamola🙄 (@dammiedammie35) January 18, 2026

Nigerian influencer VeryDarkMan has ridiculed businessman Linus Williams Ifejika, popularly known as Blord, after Blord’s social media account was suspended for the second time in just a few days. In a video shared online, VeryDarkMan laughed at Blord and said, “Thought it was a deactivation by you? Did you deactivate for the second time?” He further boasted about being the “fourth arm of the government” and claimed to have his own authority. The feud between the two reportedly began over allegations that Blord sold modified iPhone XRs as iPhone 17s. The conflict intensified online, with Blord allegedly sharing compromising videos of VeryDarkMan, contributing to the suspension. The exchange has sparked widespread discussion on social media about online behavior, accountability, and the consequences of public digital spats.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Martins vincent otse (@verydarkblackman)
