Falz Addresses VeryDarkMan Amid Controversy Involving Bobrisky – “You Will Find Trouble If You’re Looking for It”
Nigerian singer and activist Folarin Falana, known as Falz, has recently spoken out regarding the ongoing controversy involving social media critic VeryDarkMan and crossdresser Bobrisky. In a candid interview on the Afro Beats podcast, Falz addressed the leaked voice recording that ignited the dispute.
The recording, released by VeryDarkMan, alleged that Falz and his father, renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana, sought a N10 million presidential pardon for Bobrisky during his six-month incarceration for naira abuse. Falz has firmly denied these allegations, asserting that it was, in fact, Bobrisky who approached him for financial support.
During the interview, Falz criticized VeryDarkMan for his lack of evidence and failure to issue a public apology. He recounted his attempt to engage VeryDarkMan about the audio, stating, “When I reached out to him over the audio, this guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about?”
Falz further emphasized the legal implications of defamation, noting, “There is a criminal angle to defamation, but I chose not to go that way.” He expressed his disappointment over VeryDarkMan’s refusal to retract the statement and apologize, highlighting the impact of such falsehoods on his reputation.
In conclusion, Falz’s remarks underscore the complexities of navigating public discourse in the age of social media, where misinformation can quickly escalate into significant controversies. As the situation develops, the call for accountability and transparency in the digital space remains paramount.
