Lindo suspected of "betraying" Quang Linh Vlog, a member of the African team wants to play alone?

In 2018, Quang Linh Vlogs, along with 4 Vietnamese friends and 5 Angolans, created an "African team" to make videos recording daily life there and post them on YouTube.

According to current records (May 2025), each of these member YouTube channels has from several hundred thousand to more than millions of followers. In the information section, the channels include contact information for Quang Linh Vlogs management, Quang Linh Vlogs Fanpage and a link to buy shirts from the African team.

Currently, after Quang Linh got into trouble with the law, updates about the lives of the African team members as well as the activities of these YouTube channels continue to receive a lot of attention.

Quang Linh Vlogs gets into trouble with the law for false advertising

Quang Linh Vlogs - the founding member and also the most famous person of the African team has been very popular with the public with his authentic videos about his life and charity activities. The journey from a young man who went to work abroad to a YouTuber with 4.1 million subscribers is also an inspirational story for many people.

However, since the beginning of 2025, Quang Linh has suddenly been involved in a legal scandal related to the KERA vegetable candy product.

Currently, Quang Linh is still in detention for investigation, there is no new information update. Activities on Quang Linh's YouTube channel are temporarily taken over by other members of the team. Although the channel's content is still updated about life in Africa and Quang Linh Farm, the number of views has decreased significantly compared to before.

Lindo in dire straits

Recently, Lindo (real name Manuel Arlindo, born in 1997) - an Angolan member of the African team posted on his personal page about his situation. He said he was facing many difficulties in filming videos.

Accordingly, Lindo explained the reason for not posting new videos was due to difficulties with filming equipment. He had borrowed a camera and two phones to make videos, but these devices were damaged, preventing him from continuing to produce content. When the problem is resolved, he will return.

The post received mixed opinions about the support of the remaining members of the African team with Lindo. In addition, many people also wondered why Lindo has a YouTube channel Lindo Vlogs - Life in Africa with 674k subscribers but does not have its own equipment.

As for Lindo, netizens also questioned his inconsistent actions. Although he said he had no equipment and stopped posting clips on the Lindo Vlogs channel for 2 weeks, he and his wife created a new YouTube channel called Família Lindo Vlogs - Life in Africa and posted clips regularly.

According to information on the channel, Família Lindo Vlogs was created on May 3, 2025 - the time Lindo stopped posting videos on the Lindo Vlogs channel. The channel's contact information has absolutely nothing to do with Quang Linh Vlogs or the African team. This has led many people to believe that the Lindo couple has decided to separate and no longer operate in the African team "ecosystem".

Cong Giap caused fierce controversy when he created a new channel.

Cong Giap Vlogs met and worked with Quang Linh since 2020. In November 2021, Cong Giap started making videos and has maintained this job until now.

Currently, the YouTube channel "Cong Giap Vlogs - Life in Africa" has more than 664k subscribers.

On April 24, 2025, Cong Giap caused a stir when he announced the creation of a new YouTube channel called "Team Cong Giap", with the participation of Son Thach and two other cameramen. This move was heavily criticized by the online community, who said that Cong Giap was "turning his back" on Team Chau Phi while Quang Linh was in trouble with the law. Many viewers commented that naming the channel without the phrase "Life in Africa" as the team's tradition was a sign of separation.

Faced with the controversy, Cong Giap quickly spoke up to correct it on April 30, 2025. He affirmed that he had no intention of splitting the group and the new channel was renamed "Son Thach - Life in Africa" to match the other members.

Not only Cong Giap, Dong Paulo recently also started to launch a new channel, named Team Dong Paulo Vlog, but later changed it to Team Dong Paulo - Life in Africa.
