BLord (Linus Williams Ifejika) faces fresh talk over Instagram tonight. His associate, Franklin, says he deactivated the main page himself. He adds the case is not a ban from Instagram.
The claim followed viral posts from gossip pages on X. Screens show Franklin’s story calling some users uneducated on the difference. It comes amid an ongoing spat with VeryDarkMan.
What Franklin said on Instagram
Franklin wrote that people must know ban and deactivation differ. He mocked rumours that claimed Instagram removed the page overnight. He also hinted the break gives space while things cool.
How deactivation differs from a ban
Deactivation hides a profile until the owner restores it. A ban means the platform locks access for policy reasons. Franklin insists the first case applies to their page now.
Fans in the Ratels group shared jokes and relief online. Some asked when the page will return to full use. Others urged care with claims until facts land from the camp.
Recent chatter shows how fast tech talk spreads across apps. A recent post naming BLord drew attention during a phone price fight. See that recent post naming BLord for context on this climate.
Neither BLord nor Instagram issued separate notes at press time. His team may share a return date once plans are set. For now, Franklin says followers should ignore claims of a ban.
BLord is a crypto entrepreneur with a large online following. His Instagram page earlier showed more than three million followers. Past disputes have kept his name in online debate this year.
Users cannot view posts on a deactivated profile until restoration. Handles may also appear unavailable while the owner stays offline. That state changes once login returns and settings switch back.
Instagram’s help pages say users can deactivate for short breaks. They also explain bans follow repeated or serious policy breaches. Franklin’s note places the case in the first group today.
Public figures often pause accounts to reset tone and focus. The move cuts noise while teams plan new posts or campaigns. Followers then get a clean slate when pages go live again.
All eyes now watch for signs that BLord’s page returns. Any fresh post will settle the claim about a ban. Until then, his associate holds the line on deactivation only.
