Lagos, Nigeria – October 17, 2025 – The blistering feud between crypto tycoon Blord and activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has veered into even murkier territory, dragging Blord’s wife, Francisca Linus, into the crossfire with explosive accusations that she joined her husband in ogling the critic’s leaked private videos—a claim she’s now vehemently denied, calling it “shocking” and “uncouth” in a fiery social media rebuttal that’s only fanned the flames higher.
The drama detonated earlier this week when Blord, 29-year-old founder of the Blord Group, retaliated against VDM’s relentless takedowns—first over an alleged iPhone XR-to-17 Pro scam, then Billpoint app data theft—by shelling out ₦500,000 for old explicit clips of the activist and splashing them across his Instagram story. VDM, unfazed and ever the provocateur, hit back with a taunting video: “I saw that Blord paid N500,000 for my noodles… Guess what? I’ve sent a new one to your DM. Make sure you show your wife too.” The “noodles” jab—a cheeky euphemism for his unclad footage—sent shockwaves, but it was Blord’s subsequent account suspension by Instagram for sharing the non-consensual content that turned the tide, leaving the billionaire scrambling to recover his 1.5 million-follower page.
Enter Mrs. Linus, the 28-year-old recent medical graduate and Blord’s ride-or-die spouse, whose serene photo dump of herself in elegant Ankara suddenly became ground zero for the mess. A troll under the handle @thelma.osuala fired off: “I hope you didn’t follow your husband to watch VDM’s nude video.” What followed was a no-holds-barred clapback from Francisca that has netizens buzzing: “Shocking and uncouth allegations… I didn’t watch any such thing. That’s pure madness!” she wrote in the comments, her words dripping with disgust as she defended her dignity amid the digital dumpster fire. The post, now viral with over 150,000 views, underscores the personal toll of the beef, as the couple—parents to a young son—navigates Blord’s empire under siege.
VDM, real name Martins Vincent Otse, wasted no time reveling in the chaos, tweeting that Blord “fell into his own pit” after the IG takedown, boasting, “I have nothing to lose—tarnished image made me famous.” The activist, who claims credit for Blord’s 2024 EFCC raid, escalated further by teasing a gadget warehouse launch to undercut Blord’s phone prices, vowing to “end the fraud.” Blord, radio-silent post-suspension, had earlier hinted at a cryptic Abuja billboard stunt—“His mama must see am”—widely interpreted as a VDM shade.
Online reactions are a popcorn-worthy split: Supporters of Francisca flooded her comments with solidarity, one writing, “Mrs. Blord, you’re class—ignore the clowns dragging innocents into this.” VDM stans, however, cackled at the escalation, with memes of “noodles” flooding X under #BlordVsVDM, one user quipping, “Blord paid for content, now his wife’s reviewing it? Naija beef levels: Expert.” Critics like media personality Tunde Ednut weighed in, warning Blord’s camp of “Ratels” (cyber vigilantes) lurking, while others slammed the whole saga as “toxic masculinity meets clout chasing.”
Legal whispers swirl too: Privacy advocates decry the non-consensual sharing as a NDPA violation, with calls for CBN probes into Blord’s ventures. For the Linus family, fresh off Francisca’s doctorate celebration, this unsolicited spotlight stings—yet her poised response screams resilience. As VDM plots more “exposés” and Blord eyes a comeback, one thing’s clear: In Nigeria’s wild web of wallets and wars, even wives aren’t safe from the splash zone.
