A video showing well-known cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams, better known by his stage name Blord, visiting his wife’s relatives in Nnobi, Anambra State, went viral and sparked controversy.
Blord, who was detained a few months ago, was shown drinking with his in-laws while sitting comfortably in a family compound in the video that has gone viral on social media.
Nigerians were drawn to the video’s background, especially the state of the house thought to be his wife’s parents’, even though the occasion appeared to be joyful and tranquil.
Many X (previously Twitter) users questioned how someone as affluent as Blord could permit his in-laws to live in such a setting, pointing out what they called the building’s “humble” and “unbefitting” condition.
Many Netizens shared their discomfort with what they saw, while others sided the Crypto-king”
@only1ODG: “Didn’t he pay her bride price? This entitlement shi*t is getting out of hand. So because he has money, his project should be him going about and building houses for his in-laws because he’s odogwu. Y’all should do the calms abeg.”
@daniel_imiete: “Anambra girls are meant for the rich I fit even marry from anambra some day.”
@iampacesetter_: “B-Lord is a smart guy he wants this topic discussed intentionally cos he knows Nigerians are busybody in another man’s business. It is not his responsibility but if he does it then he’s too kind. Simple.”
@Sole_DOT: “He owes no them no sh*t but for someone who flashes wealth on social media and give away, not him but his wife should be able to renovate her family house without breaking a sweat”
@cincoworld: “He can’t take “full” responsibility of the wife’s family because he have his own family and his biological family. If it was a poor man they won’t be asking all these questions”
@Nwanzechy: “Una just de ask annoying question all for attention tho because how’s it his responsibility in the 1st place? It’s (willingly) if he decides to do so.”
