Celebrity Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, has issued a cease and desist letter to VeryDarkMan, stopping him from using the name “Ratel”.

Blord made the development known in a now trending post on his Instagram page after trademarking “Ratel” as his business brand name.

Speaking in a public statement shared on his Instagram story, Blord stated that VeryDarkMan can only make use of the name after getting his approval.

He wrote, “I have directed my SAN to issue a cease and desist to VDM to stop using my brand name ‘Ratel’. He will have to get an approval from me henceforth before using that name Ratel.”

The development has continued to spark mixed reactions on social media.

DAILY POST reports that this came amid the ongoing fight between the two celebrities on social media.

Their fight began in October 2025 after VeryDarkMan, a popular social media critic, visited China to help some Nigerian business owners get cheap goods and supplier contacts.

While in China, VeryDarkMan accused Blord of business fraud and overpricing of modified gadgets. The fight escalated when he allegedly petitioned the police to investigate Blord business practice.

Ratel is the recognised name that VeryDarkMan gave to his loyal supporters online.
