Falz gives VDM 24 hours to retract defamatory statements .

Nigerian rapper Falz has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to social media personality Verydarkman for claiming that he aided Bobrisky in dropping money laundering charges.

The ultimatum comes in response to a scathing viral audio released by VeryDarkMan on September 24, 2024,

Self acclaimed activist, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, shared a video online on Tuesday wherein Bobrisky claimed she bribed some EFCC officials with N15,000,000 to drop the money laundering charges against her.

In the alleged voice call, Bobrisky also said that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and his son assisted in getting the charges dropped and keeping him out of prison. However, Very Dark Man then alleged that Falz and his father, Femi Falana, a renowned SAN were the ones behind Bobrisky’s ordeal. His allegation then caused a variety of reactions across social media and Falz promptly became a trending topic.

In the legal document posted to Falz’s Instagram on September 25, 2024, Verydarkman’s statement, “In everything and everyone that is mentioned here, I will be disappointed if truly FALZ and his father are involved in this whole Bobrisky issue,” was highlighted.

It read in part, “The entire publication was a vicious, wicked and reckless ploy to impugn the reputation of our client and lower him in the estimation of right-thinking members of the public. We, therefore, demand an immediate retraction of the offensive and derogatory publication as well as an apology prominently published on all the platforms to which you have disseminated it without any justification whatsoever.”
