Mr Jollof Reacts to Plane Fight with VeryDarkMan: ”If you like gym; It’s not by size”
Comedian Mr Jollof has reacted to his recent mid-air clash with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), offering his perspective following the viral altercation aboard a commercial flight.
The two men, who have a history of exchanging insults online, reportedly came face-to-face during a flight, resulting in a physical confrontation. Passengers attempted to separate them, but both were eventually deboarded and taken into police custody at the Delta State Airport. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
A video showing Mr Jollof shortly after his release from the Asaba International Airport Police Command has since circulated widely on social media. In the footage, the comedian addresses the camera directly, insisting that he did not sustain any visible injuries despite the altercation.
He also directed a message to VeryDarkMan, noting that physical size is not everything in such confrontations. Mr Jollof hinted that VDM could continue going to the gym if he wished but emphasized that strength alone does not determine the outcome of a fight.
The clip has elicited mixed reactions from social media users. One Twitter user, @UTDCeojago, commented humorously, “Abeg show us the teeth you use bite 🤣,” while @_Justdoit05 noted, “Oga make una go one side. Country dey spoil una dey fight.” Another user, @justkency, remarked on Mr Jollof’s post-clash demeanor, observing, “Dem punch you, your accent change from Warri to African American accent. Chai.”
The incident has continued to spark debates online, with many users questioning why public figures would engage in such confrontations in confined spaces like aircraft, while others found humor in the exchange.
Mr Jollof’s response underscores the ongoing online rivalry between him and VDM, highlighting how disagreements that begin on social media can escalate in unexpected real-life encounters.
“If you like gym, everywhere still good, my face is intact.”👀👀
