I Don’t Know Much About VeryDarkMan’s Activism. He Has Refused To Apologize For Defaming Me – Rapper Falz Says (Video)
Falz said he felt horrible when VDM made the statements in the video he released in September.
Popular Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana aka Falz has addressed his issues with controversial activist, Vincent Martins Otse aka Verydarkman who made certain allegations about him.
In a fresh interview with media personality, Adesope, Falz was asked what he thinks about VDM’s activism and he responded saying he knows very little about it.
‘’I don’t know much of it, prior to the first video he shared talking about me and my dad. I hadn’t seen much of him. What I had seen was some stuff about people that didn’t have NAFDAC numbers and selling products and at the time when I saw some of those clips, I was like this person must be doing something right, this is a good course. Asides that, I haven’t seen much of his work”
Speaking on how VDM ‘’attacked” him and his dad’s character in the video the social critic released, Falz said;
‘’One day, this person thought it wise to turn on his ring light, sit down and via direct statements, insinuations and innuendos, allege that myself and my dad connived with a certain individual to manipulate justice and bribe the EFCC and adding that the reason I have done this is because I have a homos3xual relationship with Bobrisky, going further to say that my posturing as an activist is false.”
Falz said he felt horrible when VDM made the statements in the video he released in September.
Absolutely no proof. Why would you just come and allege all these things with absolutely nothing to support this statement.”
Falz said via his counsel, he has written to the person VDM claims made the statements about him and his dad in the said audio tape and that the said person admitted that no money was paid to him or his dad.
‘’So now you have to defend yourself because he who alleges must prove. I have gone to court for defamation of character because clearly that is what this is. The case of defamation is still very much in court” Falz said.
The rapper said a High court had instructed VDM to take down the video where he made the allegations against him and his father down but he has refused to obey the court.
‘’In my defamation suit, I am going to ask for damages because that is the only remedy available in a civil suit. I would have you know that there is a criminal angle to defamation. I chose not to go that route. He could very well have been arrested. Now the narrative is that me and my family want to oppress this guy because we have legal muscle….Come on man! I do not look for trouble. I am always on my own. You set your ring light and began to say all these things about me and you expect me to sit down”
He said he had a conversation with VDM on the phone and that VDM was very defensive.
”He said to me shebi you are a lawyer, go to court!” This person in my opinion wanted the litigation. What he thinks that does for him, I do not know. I do not know if he thinks it will posture him as some sought of hero but he clearly wanted the litigation,” Falz added
