During a flight, comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, also known as Mr Jollof, and social media sensation Martins Otse, also known as Verydarkman, traded blows.
Dr. Paul Ezikel, a Facebook user, broke the news on Monday morning when he uploaded the video to his profile.
The post claims that when the incident happened, the two were travelling from Asaba, Delta State, to Lagos on a United Nigerian Airlines flight.
In the past, VDM and Jollof have engaged in contentious social media interactions after the critic included the comedian’s wife in the controversy by claiming that she had an affair with Yahoo boys.
VDM confirmed the fight in a post on his Facebook page, claiming that he dealt with Mr Jollof.
“I don chop Jollof father for inside plane. He bite me, man wey de bite,” he said in a video.

Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji has responded to a contentious tweet cautioning Igbo men against marrying women from their own ethnic group.
Instead of having their Igbo spouses accuse them of raping their own daughter, the X user had advised Igbo men to travel to East Africa and choose a wife.
“Dear Igbo men, instead of marrying Igbo woman that’ll falsely accuse you of raping your daughter, better look outside for a wife… Go to East Africa, especially Rwanda and pick a damsel,” the X user wrote.
Responding, Genevieve Nnaji, who is an Igbo woman from Mbaise, Imo State, said, “In other words, instead of checking yourself and taking accountability, go for the unsuspecting and carry on with your evil. Got it.”
Some argued the tweet targeted false accusers, not all women, but Nnaji stood her ground, stressing the dangers of stereotyping:
“The same way a woman can’t tell an abusive man apart from a good one is the same way you shouldn’t say avoid all Igbo women. ‘Not all women,” she added.
