Falz Denies Relationship with Bobrisky Amidst Ongoing Defamation Suit.
Nigerian musician Folarin Falana, known professionally as Falz, has publicly refuted claims of a romantic relationship with controversial crossdresser Bobrisky. This denial surfaces amidst ongoing legal proceedings initiated by Falz against social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The legal battle stems from an incident last year when VDM allegedly leaked a private phone conversation between Falz and Bobrisky during the latter’s incarceration. In response, Falz filed a defamation suit against VDM, triggering speculation about the singer’s personal life.
During a recent interview on Arise TV, Falz provided an update on the court case. He stated that VDM has yet to formally present a defense. “Update on the court case, very much still in court. There’s a substantive suit which myself and my dad are alleging defamation. We filed the case and ever since we filed the case, they have never entered the defense. Instead, they entered a preliminary objection saying the court doesn’t have jurisdiction to hear the case or something,” Falz explained. He added that the court has dismissed VDM’s preliminary objection, requiring him to enter a defense or risk the court ruling on the case based on available evidence.
Addressing the rumors surrounding his relationship with Bobrisky, Falz clarified, “I never had any relationship with Bobrisky prior to that phone call. He messaged me on Instagram and said, ‘I’m in this case and I want to speak to you about how you can help.’” He emphasized that he receives numerous similar requests for assistance and approached Bobrisky’s situation with compassion. “In a lot of those cases, I will give them an audience, like what is the P, how can I help? Compassionately. Little did I know.” Falz concluded by stating that the experience has made him more cautious about offering assistance in the future, expressing a sentiment of “once bitten, twice shy.” He implied a potential reluctance to offer help as freely as before, highlighting a heightened awareness in future interactions.
