Two of Nigeria’s most popular TikTok creators, VDM and GehGeh, have lost their TikTok accounts within hours of each other. The sudden removal of both accounts has left millions of fans shocked and confused. VDM had about 2.7 million followers, while GehGeh had over 3 million before the ban. This unexpected incident has become one of the biggest social media stories in Nigeria right now.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Why Was VDM’s TikTok Account Banned?
As of now, TikTok has not made any public statement about the reason behind VDM’s ban. However, users online believe it may be part of a larger cleanup targeting creators who have been involved in controversial or sensitive content. Others think it could be due to mass reporting by certain groups who disagreed with VDM’s recent posts. Until TikTok gives an official reason, the cause remains unclear.
Was GehGeh’s Account Banned for the Same Reason?
GehGeh, who recently gained massive attention for her content and engagement, also lost her account hours before VDM’s page disappeared. Fans noticed that both bans happened on the same day, leading to several online discussions suggesting a coordinated action by TikTok. Some believe the platform is enforcing stricter community rules across Nigerian creators, especially those involved in heated online debates.

Are Other Nigerian Creators Affected?
According to early reports on X (Twitter) and Instagram, more TikTok accounts from Nigerian creators might have been taken down recently. This has raised questions about whether TikTok is carrying out a region-wide policy update or focusing on specific content types that violate its terms. Creators are now reviewing their videos to ensure they comply with TikTok’s guidelines.
What Has Been the Reaction on Social Media?
Fans of both creators have flooded social media with mixed reactions. Some are angry and demanding explanations, while others see it as a lesson for creators to be careful with what they post online. The hashtags #VDM and #GehGeh have been trending across social platforms in Nigeria since the news broke. Many online users also connected the event to Blord’s popular saying — “Blord is cooking” — suggesting that something bigger may be happening behind the scenes.

Could Their Accounts Be Restored?
TikTok usually allows creators to appeal bans if they believe the removal was a mistake. If the ban came from mass reporting or a technical error, there’s a chance the accounts could be restored. However, if the ban resulted from repeated violations of community rules, recovery might be difficult. Fans are currently waiting to see if VDM or GehGeh will make official statements through their other social media pages.
What This Means for Nigerian TikTok Creators
This incident serves as a warning for other content creators in Nigeria. TikTok’s moderation system has become more active lately, and creators are advised to pay attention to the type of content they post. Avoiding sensitive topics, misinformation, and explicit materials could help reduce the risk of losing an account.
