Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana (Falz), has clarified his involvement with Bobrisky, confirming that the social media personality begged him for N3 million to secure a VIP section at the Correctional Centre.
 

 
Falz’s legal team, Falana & Falana Chambers, issued a letter to Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan), demanding the retraction of defamatory statements made against Falz.
 
 
According to the letter:
“Your publication of September 25, 2024… has been drawn to our notice wherein you made some defamatory statements against our client.”

 
The letter outlined the sequence of events:
“Mr. Idris Okuneye (AKA Bobrisky) contacted our client requesting a phone conversation… Our client gratuitously obliged, having knowledge of the Naira abuse charges leveled against him, and genuinely believing he might require legal advice.”
 
However:
“Mr. Idris Okuneye (Aka Bobrisky) stated that he was in distress and needed financial assistance of about N3,000,000… to pay some officials to be permitted to stay in the VIP section of the Correctional Centre.”
 
Falz’s lawyer, Taiwo E. Olawanle, emphasized:
“Our client, in the same conversation, advised him that there was no need to pay the officials of the Correctional Centre any money.”
 
The letter demanded an immediate retraction of the defamatory statements and a public apology.
