Falz breaks silence on allegations by Verydarkman, confirms legal action

Nigerian rapper Falz has addressed allegations made by social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, aka Verydarkman, regarding his involvement in Bobrisky's jail term.

In an interview on the Afrobeat podcast with Adesope, Falz denied the claims, stating that VDM "set up a ring light and said nonsense" about him and his family.

Also, Falz explained that he couldn't ignore the allegations, prompting him to take legal action against Verydarkman. "You can't just sit back and watch someone spew falsehoods about you," he emphasized.

Meanwhile, the rapper revealed that he contacted music industry veteran Seun Kuti, who may have intervened. This led to a phone call from Verydarkman. However, Falz stated that Verydarkman continued to make baseless claims during the call.

Additionally, this development follows a lawsuit filed by Falz's sister against VDM for defamatory statements about her brother and father.
