Popular Nigerian rapper and activist Falz has filed legal action against media personality Verydarkman (VDM) on claims that he and his father attempted to help Bobrisky obtain a Federal pardon while he was in prison.
A few hours prior, Verydarkman had disrupted the internet with an audio clip in which he claimed that Falz and his father, Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), had stepped in to support Bobrisky and had even asked the transvestite for a N10 million bribe.
Falz’s lawsuit provides a distinct narrative in response to the VDM‘s assertion. He claims that when Bobrisky contacted Falz, asking for help to change his stay in the correctional center’s VIP session, Falz only gave advise.
Falz’s lawsuit demanded that Verydarkman retract his statement and apologize or face the full wrath of the law.

In a similar story, Bobrisky refuted a bribery allegation made against him by a social media influencer, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
Bobrisky claimed that some unidentified Economic and Financial Crimes Commission agents took N15 million from him in exchange for dropping money laundering accusations against him in a widely shared audio clip that was made public by VeryDarkMan.
Bobrisky was first charged with six counts related to money laundering and naira abuse totalling N127,780,877.98.
According to reports, the funds were deposited into his company’s Eco Bank Plc account, 2830002929, between September 2021 and April 2024.
However, after praying, Suleiman Suleiman, the EFCC‘s counsel, dismissed the charge.
He had reported to the court that Bobrisky and the commission had an agreement.
The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, responded to the widely circulated recording in a statement on Tuesday, stating that the Commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, had directed an immediate investigation into the situation.
On Wednesday morning, September 25, Bobirsky, however, claimed to have served his jail sentence in an Instagram post and denied having paid any EFCC officer to drop the money laundering accusations against him.
