At first, it was just another routine flight—a quiet cabin, the soft hum of the aircraft, passengers scrolling through their phones, stretching their legs, or settling into their seats for takeoff.
No one on board could have predicted that this seemingly ordinary Monday would soon morph into the setting of a full-blown, headline-dominating showdown between two of Nigeria’s most controversial online personalities.
In one corner sat Mr Jollof—comedian, influencer, political ally, and a man who has never shied away from bold opinions.
In the other corner, VeryDarkMan (VDM)—Nigeria’s most fearless social critic, a man who has built his brand on unfiltered truth-telling and a willingness to confront anyone at any time.
Two loud personalities.
One confined space.
Zero room to escape.
It was only a matter of time before sparks flew.
When the dust settled and phones began recording, the world saw only a snippet—a scuffle, raised voices, movement, chaos.
But what actually happened before those viral clips? How did a simple flight turn into one of the most talked-about celebrity clashes of the year?
This article digs into the tension, the triggers, and the truths behind the viral VDM vs Mr Jollof airplane brawl.
A Brewing Storm At 30,000 Feet
According to Mr Jollof, things began long before fists allegedly started flying.
He was seated quietly—earbuds in, minding his business—when he noticed VDM repeatedly glancing in his direction. For many passengers, it looked like nothing.
But for two men who have a history of online disagreements, even silence can feel heavy.
Then VDM reportedly got up and moved toward him, tossing sharp words like darts.
“If we come down from this plane, I go slap you. Make God punish your papa…”
Passengers say the energy shifted instantly. A tense silence spread through the aircraft—everyone suddenly aware that the two storm clouds were colliding.
Mr Jollof claimed he tried to keep calm, replying only: “Behave yourself.”
But sometimes, words are sparks—and the spark found gasoline.
When Words Weren’t Enough
What happened next depends on who you ask, but the core remains the same: VDM reportedly stepped closer, closing the last bit of space between them. And in that moment, instinct took over.
According to Jollof:
* He stood up to defend himself.
* He swung blows “in milligrams,” as he jokingly described—“3000mg of punches.”
* And in the heat of the moment, he even *bit* VDM on the chest.
Yes—bit him.
When questioned about the bite, Mr Jollof didn’t deny it. Instead, he gave a Mike Tyson–inspired explanation: “Mike Tyson use wetin God give am. When person carry knife come gun battle, anything you see you go use.”
In other words…
A fight is a fight.
The Apology That Followed The Chaos
Moments after the confrontation ended, videos began surfacing online.
The internet went wild—memes, theories, think pieces, hot takes.
Seeing the outrage, Mr Jollof took to Instagram to apologise—not just to the airline and passengers, but to his boss, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the NCAA, his wife, and children.
His message was emotional, remorseful, and filled with regret: “This isn’t my kind of person. It will never happen again.”

He insisted repeatedly that he was provoked and that everything he did was self-defence, not an attack.
Unanswered Questions And An Ongoing Conversation
While Jollof has told his side, VDM has been quieter—at least for now. But anyone who knows VDM knows this silence won’t last forever.
There are still unanswered questions:
* What triggered the confrontation before the cameras started rolling?
* Did VDM intentionally provoke him, or was it a misunderstanding?
* Will NCAA take disciplinary action?
* And most importantly—will this feud fuel yet another round of online fire between the two?
One thing is certain: this mid-air drama has become one of Nigeria’s most intriguing celebrity clashes of the year.
Two strong personalities.
One airplane.
One explosive moment that no one will forget anytime soon.
