I Did Not Give Falz Or Falana Money For Pardon Nor Defame Them, VDM Should Take Responsibility For The Released Audio – Bobrisky

Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky has blatantly denied claims that he gave money to the Falanas to help him secure presidential pardon while he was imprisoned for Naira abuse.

He stated this on his Instastories hours after the Falanas gave him 12 hours to apologize for the claims he reportedly made in a viral audio clip released by Verydarkman VDM last month.

Recall that VDM had released two audio clips purportedly of Bobrisky speaking to a man.  In one of the recordings, the person claimed to be Bobrisky said that he had spoken with Falz to request his help in convincing his father (Falana) to secure a presidential pardon, which allegedly involved a payment of N10 million. The person further claimed that he asked Falz for N3 million to ensure preferential treatment at Kirikiri Correctional Centre.

In another audio released by VeryDarkMan, the person claimed to be Bobrisky alleged he had paid N5 million upfront to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to obtain a Federal Government pardon for charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In the statement released in his Instagram page, Bobrisky insisted he is not the person in the viral audio clip. He said his lawyer will release a statement to this effect.

Falz Issues 12-Hour Ultimatum, Demand Apology From Bobrisky

Popular Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has issued a 12-hour ultimatum to cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, to immediately retract defamatory statements made against him and offer a public apology.

The warning was delivered through a letter dated October 14, 2024, and signed by Olorunfemi Akinyemi and Taiwo E. Olawanle, of Falana and Falana’s Chambers.

Falz’s legal team has demanded that Bobrisky not only retract the false claims but also publish a written apology on all platforms where the defamatory remarks were made. Failure to comply will lead to legal action, including a claim for damages.

The controversy arose after Bobrisky alleged that Falz had offered to secure a presidential pardon through his father, the renowned Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Femi Falana, for N10 million.

Falz’s legal representatives firmly denied the accusation, revealing that Bobrisky had in fact approached Falz for financial assistance, which was declined.

In the letter titled, “Demand for Withdrawal and Retraction of Defamatory Statements against Mr. Folarin Falana (aka Falz),” the rapper accused Bobrisky of exploiting his recent imprisonment to defraud the public and make false claims about receiving legal help from Falz’s father.

The letter stated: “It is evident that you took advantage of your recent imprisonment to extort money from artists and the public.

“On May 4, 2024, you called Mr. Falz requesting financial assistance of N3 million for a special place in the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, which was refused. You then falsely claimed in a video that Mr. Femi Falana had agreed to write a pardon letter for you.”

Falz’s lawyers also refuted additional claims made by Bobrisky that he had paid N5 million to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to secure a pardon, labeling these statements as entirely fabricated.

Falz warned Bobrisky that if the retraction and apology are not issued within 12 hours, legal proceedings will commence, potentially resulting in significant financial damages.

In a related case, a Lagos State High Court recently ordered popular blogger Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, to remove defamatory content about Falz from all social media platforms within 21 days.

The court also prohibited the blogger and his associates from further publishing any defamatory statements until legal proceedings have been resolved.

My Both Attempts At Threesome Didn’t Go Well – Falz

Nigerian rapper and activist, Falz has shared his experience after he attempted threesomes on two occasions.

He stated that both attempts did not go as planned.

He disclosed this while on the Over The Top show with VJ Adams, adding that he sought professional advice to understand why the experiences didn’t work out.

A threesome refers to a s3xual encounter involving three people who engage in s3xual activities together.

It typically implies that all participants are involved in some way during the experience.

He said he was told that the issue stemmed from “planning it” too much and was advised to let things happen more spontaneously.

“What might be interesting to note is that I have only attempted it twice and on both occasions, they did not really go well. To answer your question, the last time was about two years ago or so.

“This is because, after that second time, I was like I give up. I also spoke to some professionals and they said to me that the problem is that you are planning it. They said just let it happen,” he said.

My Upbringing Influenced My Activism – Falz

Folarin Falana, the famous Nigerian rapper, who is popularly known as Falz has narrated how his upbringing influenced his approach to activism.

The singer who led the #ENDSARS Protest in Lagos in 2020, explained that his activism did not begin that year.

Speaking in an interview on Menisms Podcast, he attributed his activism to Fela Kuti and his father, Femi Falana influence.

“Apart from Fela records, my dad has been an activist for over 40 years so having someone like that as a father, everywhere I went, someone had a story about what my father did for them. So that level of selflessness played a part in who I became.

”That was always at the back of my mind so with everything I was doing with my record, I drew inspiration from everything around me.

“I have always been conscious. So it’s not like I woke up one day. 2020 was a time when so much was happening that we needed to take further steps from just talking and walking the walk. Of course, I was going to be in front because I had been talking the talk anyway.”

He stated this during an interview on Menisms Podcast.
Speaking about his love life, he stated that he has not reached a point in a relationship where such expressions of love are made.
“I have never said I love you to anybody. I have never been in love or gotten to that level of emotional commitment before. And they have not said it to me sha. You know there is a level in a relationship where it’s like, ‘Oh, I love you, baby, I love you too’, I have never gotten there.

“Also, from time to time, I feel like these conversations need to be revisited every often. At the end of the day, it is not like I am not expressive, maybe I have just been consistently true to the cause and I have now become accustomed to the mindset of always guiding.”

Falz, in a recent episode of the Unpack podcast, said that, as a celebrity, he is unsure of what an ideal marriage would be.

The rapper stated that he is still contemplating whether to publicise his future marital life or keep it private.

“I’m not married. I have been single for a while now Maybe I should just try marriage. I don’t know the ideal relationship. Maybe that is one of the reasons I am not bothered to try. When I say I am bothered, I don’t know what the ideal setup would look like.

“Being an artiste, being in the public eye, is it going to be public or coded? Or do you want to come out as a famous couple? I think these things are difficult to navigate. This is one of the biggest reasons entertainers do not get to have healthy family life. It is tough. It will always come out one way or the other. I might do it and run it coded,” he said.

My Last Relationship Was In University – Falz

The ‘Marry Me’ crooner spoke during a recent interview with Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos.

“My lifestyle as a celebrity is difficult to find someone to commit to. Also, there are a lot of happenings in the industry that make having a booming career and a healthy relationship seem difficult. So because of that, I’m trying to be careful. There’s no issue. I’m just trying to be careful.”
