Nigerian musician and lawyer Folarin Falana who is popularly known as Falz, has discussed his defamation lawsuit against social media activist Martins Vincent Otse better known as VeryDarkMan.
According to the controversial social media activist, the rapper and his father, Femi Falana, allegedly assisted Bobrisky in evading money laundering accusations.
Falz discussed his conversation with VeryDarkMan following the release of the viral video containing the untrue allegations in a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast.
He said, “This guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about? And he said to me, without minding words, ‘shebi you’re a lawyer; go to court.'”
I’ll have you know that there’s a criminal angel to defamation, and I chose not to go that way. He could have very well been arrested. What you’ve posted is a load of bollocks, absolutely false and I need you to take it down and offer an apology within a certain amount of time and what did he do? Nothing."
Falz clarified that he had never had any issues with the social media personality prior to him disparagingly mentioning his father's name.
He said, “I no dey find trouble Baba, I dey my dey. You set your ring light and begin dey talk all this nonsense about me, and you expect me to sit down? He trampled on every single thing my father stood for, sticking out his neck for the oppressed. So this level of disrespect ? See our people say that any child who says that any child who says his mother would not sleep, he himself would not sleep,” he said.
Certainly, he added, “So if you say you want to find trouble, trouble is my work; it’s my work. If you say that’s what you’re looking for, let’s go.”
