The feud ignited when VDM accused crypto influencer Blord of fraud, leading to Blord's arrest and bail after Omoyele Sowore's mediation-leaving VDM feeling betrayed and sparking public blasts. Seun Kuti defended Sowore, tensions escalated as VDM's fans Ratels disrespected Fela Kuti, prompting Seun's sister to call them 'shallow-minded' and question VDM's family background. VDM responded with a lighthearted video of his fearless pet, a symbol of resilience cheered by fans as alliances shift in Nigeria's heated online activist scene.
