Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, aka Falz, has warned social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse aka VeryDarkMan, that he has 24hrs to issue an apology over his recent remarks about him.
VeryDarkman had, earlier, on his handle, aired an audio conversation between famous crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, and a friend, where the latter explained that he was in conversation with Falz and his father, Femi Falana, to secure his release.
This audio supposedly occured during Bobrisky’s time in jail for abuse of the Naira note, a sentencee he has now served and has been released.
VeryDarkMan followed up by throwing shades at Falz and his father for being in company with someone of Bobrisky’s ilk.
While reacting to the allegations, Falz, in a statement issued on Wednesday evening, confirmed that Bobrisky had indeed reached out to him while incarcerated.
He, however, pointed out that the Corssdresser demanded N3m from him to help secure a spot in the VIP section of Kirikiri maximum security prison, a request Falz claims he turned down.
Falz, through his father’s legal team, Falana & Falana Chambers, demanded an apology and retraction of the comments from VeryDarkMan, comments they deem to portray Falz as a gay and one who subverts justice for cash.
“Your publication of September 25, 2024, on your Instagram page captioned “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…” has been drawn to our notice wherein you made some defamatory statements against our client.
“To set the records straight, our client never at any point initiated a conversation with Mr Idris Okuneye. Our client has documentary evidence that Mr. Idris was in fact the one who initiated a call.
“Specifically, on the 4th of May 2024, Mr Idris Okuneye (AKA Bobrisky) contacted our client requesting a phone conversation with him. Our client gratuitously obliged, having knowledge of the Naira abuse charges leveled against him, and genuinely believing he might require legal advice.
“Mr Idris Okuneye (Aka Bobrisky) called shortly after but instead of soliciting legal advice, stated that he was in distress and needed financial assistance of about N3,000,000 (Three million Naira) which he claimed he needed to pay some officials to be permitted to stay in the VIP section of the Correctional Centre.

“Our client, in the same conversation, advised him that there was no need to pay the officials of the Correctional Centre any money. However, Mr Idris Okuneye (Aka Bobrisky) stated that his lawyers had messed up his case by asking him to plead guilty to the charges filed against him. Mr Idris Okuneye (Aka Bobrisky) insisted on his request for the money which our client continuously disapproved.
“Without contacting our client, you went ahead to publish a careless statement containing multiple allegations including an insinuation that our client is involved in a homosexual affair and intended to get a presidential pardon for Mr Idris Okuneye,” the letter from the Falana Chambers read.
Falz’ legal team insists that VeryDarkMan must post a retraction and apology on the same media channels in which he published his claimed regarding their client.
VeryDarkMan has now been warned that failure to comply to this demand will attract legal proceedings against him and claims for damages.
