Very Dark Man replies Falz after singer gave him 24 hours ultimatum to apologise, retract statement

Social media critic and activist Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Very Dark Man, has responded to rapper Falz.

This is after the musician cum actor gave him a 24-hour ultimatum to retract and apologize for a statement he made in response to an alleged audio clip in which Bobrisky claimed he had contacted Falz and his father, Femi Falana to help secure a presidential pardon for him.

Recall that when Very Dark Man leaked an alleged audio exchange between Bobrisky and a male friend. In that conversation, Bob claimed to have spoken with Falz while he was incarcerated, and Falz and his father, Femi Falana, SAN, allegedly attempted to secure a presidential pardon for Bobrisky.

While reacting to the alleged tape, Very Dark Man voiced his disgust at Falz and his father for being friends with Bobrisky. He also stylishly asked if FalZ was gay.

Falz responded to Very Dark Man’s remarks by confirming in a statement from his father’s chambers that was made public yesterday that Bobrisky had contacted him on May 4 to request N3 million to get a VIP area in the prison.

But he stated he wouldn’t give Bobrisky any cash. According to him, VDM’s remark painted him as a homos3xual who subverts justice and conspires to overturn the law to benefit financially.

Along with portraying him as a fraudulent human rights advocate, Falz claimed that Very Dark Man also refused to speak with him or hear his side of the story.

Through his legal representation, Falz also demanded an “immediate retraction of the offensive and derogatory publication” and an apology that would be prominently displayed on all the platforms on which he had shared it without providing any explanation.

In a video posted on his Instagram page, VDM has finally reacted to Falz’s ultimatum. He said that he spoke with the rapper on the phone on Wednesday and never defamed him.

‘’I will see you in court” Very Dark Man said he told Falz

‘’I did not read what Falz posted until later and then when I read what Falz posted, I said wait a minute. Bobrisky is saying that the voice call was fake and now Falz is confirming that they had a call. The only difference is that he is saying Bobrisky was the one that called him while Bobrisky is saying it was Falz that called him. Falz is saying Bobrisky asked him for N3 million. Bobrisky is saying Falz said he should pay a lawyer, his father, N10 million.

”What I expected Falz to do was instead of addressing that letter to me, I expected him to address that letter to Bobrisky, requesting that he should clear your name on that voice call, not you coming for me. I wasn’t the one in the record. My reason for posting that (audio recording) is to expose the corruption that Bobrisky used his mouth to say that instead of taking him to prison, he was taken to a private lodge, that EFCC collected N15 million from him to drop charges that said he laundered money. Instead of all this thing, he is calling your name. I expect you to send that letter to Bobrisky. To be honest, I did not defame Falz and Uncle Femi Falana,” he added.
