Popular Nigerian businessman BLord has finally broken his silence on the much-talked-about online feud with controversial social media critic VeryDarkMan, and the revelation has shocked many Nigerians.
According to BLord, the viral drama surrounding the Ratel app, including trademark claims and heated exchanges online, was never a real fight — it was fully planned.
BLord Speaks After Weeks of Online Speculation
After weeks of intense arguments, social media debates, and fan wars, BLord addressed the controversy in a post shared on his official Facebook page on January 22, 2026.
Fans had closely followed the feud, especially after VeryDarkMan publicly questioned the ownership and branding of the Ratel name, sparking massive engagement across platforms.
But BLord has now revealed that Nigerians were watching a deliberate publicity strategy unfold in real time.
“Everything You Saw Was Planned” — BLord Confesses
In a surprising twist, BLord admitted that the entire online drama was strategically staged to push the Ratel app into public consciousness and dominate online conversations.
According to him, the exchanges were never personal and had nothing to do with ego or rivalry.
Instead, they were a coordinated marketing move designed to drive attention, downloads, and engagement.
Ratel App Drama Was a Marketing Strategy
BLord explained that the controversy succeeded in making the Ratel app trend organically, drawing massive interest without traditional advertising.
He stressed that in today’s digital space, attention is currency, and the drama achieved exactly that.
BLord Mentions Blunt Gadget Rally as Proof
Backing his claim, BLord pointed to the Blunt Gadget Rally, describing it as another example of calculated collaboration between him and VeryDarkMan.
According to him, such public stunts are intentionally designed to dominate narratives, disrupt competitors, and keep audiences engaged.
BLord’s Exact Words
BLord wrote:
“I’ll forever love my Presido @verydarkblackman.
All these things we are doing online are planned work, just to make Ratel app trend.
We both planned it together.
We also planned the Blunt Gadget Rally so we both shut down Emeka Offor on Saturday!!!
Ratels and BLord FC are one.
Peace and love.”
