An old video featuring comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, popularly known as Mr Jollof, has resurfaced online showing him making serious threats against social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, also called VDM. This comes just days after the two Nigerian celebrities were involved in a physical confrontation during a flight, with footage of their altercation going viral across social media platforms.
The Resurfaced Threat Video
In the recently circulated old recording, Mr Jollof can be seen issuing a stern warning to VDM about how he should be addressed. The comedian insisted that the activist must show him respect by calling him "Uncle" whenever speaking about him. Mr Jollof went further to vow that he would beat VDM "blue black" if they ever met in person, emphasizing that they were not equals.
The comedian also dismissed VDM's physical appearance, stating that having a big chest didn't automatically mean the TikToker could defeat him in a physical confrontation. The timing of this video's resurgence has captured significant attention given the recent real-life clash between the two personalities.
VDM's Response to the Threat
In the same resurfaced recording, VDM was captured responding to Mr Jollof's threats with equal determination. The activist promised that he would be the first to approach the comedian if he ever saw him, vowing to defend himself against any potential attack. VDM declared that he would preemptively attack Mr Jollof and challenged the comedian to follow through on his promise to slap him.
According to VDM's statements in the video, if Mr Jollof failed to slap him first as threatened, he would take the initiative and slap the comedian instead. This exchange of threats in the old video now appears prophetic given their recent physical encounter.
Background of the Feud
The history between these two celebrities extends beyond their recent plane altercation. The feud initially began when VDM made serious allegations about the wife of a politician in a viral video. The social media activist claimed the woman was involved in extramarital affairs and provided alleged locations where she met with men.
VDM further taunted Mr Jollof for apparently having no control over the situation, which sparked a long-running back-and-forth between both men on various social media platforms. This ongoing conflict set the stage for their recent physical confrontation during air travel.
Public Reaction to the Resurfaced Video
Nigerian social media users have been actively reacting to the old video of Mr Jollof's threats, with many taunting the comedian after watching footage of their actual fight. The comments section across platforms has been filled with reactions analyzing both the old threats and the recent physical altercation.
One social media user @montana_eac commented: "Vdm na street… street no de take threat lightly," suggesting that VDM comes from a background where threats aren't taken lightly. Another user @therealsugarlips_ stated: "Person say jollof Dey throw blow like baddie," commenting on Mr Jollof's fighting style.
User @rolyngold reacted: "Somebody should please tell Mr Jollof to go live, I want to see what his face looks like," while @toni_30th shared: "I love the way vdm match go meet jellof, bold step, same way I was expecting OBO to act when big wiz went to the same club he was in."
The incident has sparked broader conversations about celebrity conflicts, social media behavior, and how past statements can resurface to provide context for current events. As both personalities continue to be trending topics, fans await further developments in this ongoing celebrity feud that has transitioned from online exchanges to physical confrontation.
