Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has issued a stern warning to social media critic VeryDarkMan, cautioning that he will face the consequences of his actions.
Falz’s remarks come amid a legal dispute between the two, sparked by a leaked audio recording of crossdresser Bobrisky.
In the recording, Bobrisky alleged that Falz and his father, Femi Falana contacted him while he was imprisoned at Kirikiri Correctional Centre to help him secure a presidential pardon.
The leaked audio, shared by VeryDarkMan on social media, generated widespread reactions online.
In response to the controversy, Falz filed a lawsuit, clarifying that it was Bobrisky who had reached out to him seeking financial assistance.
During an interview on the Afro Beats podcast on Wednesday, Falz addressed the issue publicly for the first time, accusing VeryDarkMan of making baseless claims without evidence.
He expressed his dissatisfaction with the critic’s failure to offer a public apology and warned that he would “give him the trouble he is looking for.”
“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 said.
“And he said without mincing words, ‘shebi you are a lawyer, you can go to court’.
“I will have him know that there is a criminal angle to defamation, but I chose not to go that way. He could have been arrested because what you posted is absolutely false and I need you to take it down and tender an apology within a certain amount of time and what did he do? Nothing.
“I don’t know if it portrays himself as a hero. He didn’t apologise, and people are trying to peddle me as an oppressor. So if you say you want to find trouble, that is my work. If you insist that’s what you are looking for, let’s go.”
