“If you want trouble, it is my work” – Falz to Verydarkman

0

Nigerian rapper, Falz breaks his silence regarding the defamation case he filed against social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM).

The case stems from allegations VDM made, claiming that Falz and his father, renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), helped popular crossdresser Bobrisky drop money laundering charges.

During a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, Falz detailed his conversation with Verydarkman after the latter posted the viral video containing the defamatory claims. Falz explained that despite his attempts to calmly address the issue, VDM was defensive from the start.

“This guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about? And he said to me, without mincing words, ‘shebi you’re a lawyer; go to court,’” Falz recounted.

Falz also revealed that he had the option to pursue criminal charges for defamation but chose not to. “I’ll have you know that there’s a criminal angle to defamation, and I chose not to go that way. He could have very well been arrested. What you’ve posted is a load of bollocks, absolutely false, and I need you to take it down and offer an apology within a certain amount of time, and what did he do? Nothing.”

The rapper expressed his frustration, not only over the false claims but also over the disrespect directed at his father, Femi Falana, a lawyer known for advocating for the oppressed.

“I no dey find trouble Baba, I dey my dey. You set your ring light and begin dey talk all this nonsense about me, and you expect me to sit down? He trampled on everything my father stood for, sticking out his neck for the oppressed. So this level of disrespect? See our people say that any child who says his mother would not sleep, he himself would not sleep,” Falz said passionately.

“If you say you want to find trouble, trouble is my work. If you say that’s what you’re looking for, let’s go,” he added.
