Blord Launches Ratel App Using Rival VDM’s Fan Name

This naming choice has sparked massive online reactions, memes, and debates:Many view it as a clever (or cheeky) business hustle by Blord, turning their prolonged feud—rooted in accusations like fake iPhone deals, explicit video leaks, fraud claims, and personal insults—into free marketing. Posts praise his “Igbo business sense” for capitalizing on VDM’s clout, with comments like “checkmate on VDM” or “no be small money him go cash out.”

In a flashy announcement video (circulating widely on X), Blord hyped the app’s potential, projecting ₦500 million in revenue by mid-2026 and committing half of the first six months’ profits to charity—specifically borehole projects (for clean water access) and boosting maternity care in Nigeria. This philanthropic pledge adds a positive spin, framing it as turning rivalry into societal good.

VDM has responded (in videos shared on X), seemingly dismissing or addressing it, with some clips showing him reacting to the launch. Supporters warn of potential backlash, like Ratels mass-reporting the app or calling it a scam (given Blord’s past controversies, including EFCC arrests and app-related fraud allegations). Others note VDM didn’t trademark “Ratels,” allowing Blord to leverage it commercially.
