Brewing Beef! Iain Valliere Goes Back And Forth With Antoine Vaillant and Blessing Awodibu

by Jonathan Salmon Published on Aug 3, 2022

Iain Valliere appears to be waging a war of words with Antoine Vaillant and Blessing Awodibu.

It appears that top bodybuilders Iain Valliere, Antoine Vaillant, and Blessing Awodibu are embroiled in some online beef. Things started with a simple post made by Vaillant. The post was a comparison picture between Vaillant and Valliere from the recent Vancouver Pro. Valliere would end up beating Vaillant by one point at the show, which likely left a bad taste for the Quebec based bodybuilder.

Everyone enjoys a good rivalry in sports. It brings another level of vested interest in the outcome of events. While competing with honor and integrity is always a great thing to see, it’s even more exciting to see when two or more individuals are invested in the defeat of the other. It appears that a healthy new rivalry is brewing between Ian Valliere, Antoine Vaillant, and Blessing Awodibu.

Antoine Vaillant posted a back comparison pic of he and Iain Valliere at the Vancouver Pro show. Vaillant clearly implies that he beat Valliere from the back at the show. As such, it appears that Vaillant is out for revenge at the 2022 Olympia where he’ll encounter Valliere once again.

What do you guys think?

Me and @iainvalliere from the @vanproshow … #20weeksout Mr. ⭕️ round 2?

Valliere Responds, Blessing Chimes In

Iain Valliere made a comment of his own on the post stating the following.

Oh you want a 4th whooping I see ????

To make matters even more interesting, it appears that Awodibu is getting in on the action as well.

@antoinev87 this’s not even close ????, you smoked this dude , zero back details just size , that’s why he thinks bodybuilding is all about size now , and even when it’s come to size you made him look like a child lol and where’s the damn calves on this guy ????.

Valliere’s Harsh Words for Blessing

Blessing Awodibu would essentially inject himself in the middle of the conversation. Awodibu believes that Vaillant deserved the win over Iain Valliere. Suffice it to say, Valliere disagreed with Awodibu’s assessment of the situation.

@blessing_awodibu you’re about as good a judge as you are a bodybuilder. No wonder your physique looks like a child made it out of playdoh.

All of this from one post. Judging from the silence of Antoine Vaillant, he doesn’t want any kind of serious beef. He did, however, spark a great deal of interest in the outcome at the 2022 Olympia.

Are you more or less excited to see Antoine Vaillant, Iain Valliere, and Blessing Awodibu at the 2022 Olympia?
