Controversial activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has denied accusations of defaming prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, rapper Falz.

The accusations stem from allegations that the two played a role in securing a favorable outcome for the popular cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, during his recent legal troubles.

Falana and Falz issued a 24-hour ultimatum to VeryDarkMan, demanding that he retract his statements and apologize.

They claimed that he falsely accused them of using their influence to help Bobrisky avoid serious consequences for his crimes.

Bobrisky had been sentenced to three months in prison after pleading guilty to naira mutilation following his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He was released on August 5, 2024.

The controversy began on September 24, 2024, when VeryDarkMan shared a leaked audio recording on social media, purportedly of Bobrisky.

In the recording, Bobrisky alleged that Falz and his father had intervened to help him escape charges of money laundering.

Following the leak, Falana and Falz categorically denied any involvement in the matter and demanded a public apology from VeryDarkMan, along with a retraction of the statements across all platforms.

In response to the ultimatum, VeryDarkMan released a video on his social media channels, clarifying his position.

He stated that he had no intention of defaming either Falana or Falz, emphasizing his respect for the senior lawyer’s longstanding advocacy for human rights and social justice.

“I never defamed Uncle Femi Falana, and I would never do so.

I hold him in high regard, not just because of his status as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria but because of his dedication to representing people like me who speak out against societal injustices and the misuse of power,” he said.

VeryDarkMan explained that his comments were solely a reaction to Bobrisky’s leaked call, where the cross-dresser alleged that Falz had connected him with Falana in exchange for a sum of N10 million.

He further stated that while he could have edited out the part of the recording that mentioned Falz, he chose not to, believing that a thorough investigation was needed to clarify the matter.

He concluded by saying that he did not believe Falana would be involved in such a situation and would be deeply disappointed if proven otherwise.

The incident has sparked widespread debate on social media, with many questioning the ethics of leaking private conversations and the broader implications for public figures who are often the subjects of unverified claims.

Rihanna, the globally renowned singer and entrepreneur, recently opened up about her experiences as a mother, describing it as a unique and challenging journey.

The 36-year-old superstar, who is now a mother of two, playfully referred to the role of being a “boy mom” as an Olympic sport, highlighting the demanding yet rewarding nature of raising her sons.

She made this lighthearted remark while sharing a video on her X handle featuring her first son, RZA, attempting to climb out of his baby cot.

After several determined efforts, the young boy finally managed to escape, showcasing both his persistence and energy.

Rihanna captioned the clip with a humorous note: “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport.”

Rihanna and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, welcomed their first child, RZA, on May 19, 2022.

The birth came nearly a year after the couple publicly confirmed their relationship, marking a new chapter in their lives.

In August 2023, the couple expanded their family with the arrival of their second son, Riot Ross.

Despite rumors earlier this year suggesting that the Fenty Beauty founder was expecting her third child, Rihanna dispelled the speculation in an interview with ET.

However, she expressed her openness to having more children in the future.

Reflecting on her hopes for a daughter, she shared with Interview Magazine that she would “definitely” like to try for a girl, though she is equally content with her growing family of boys.

“I don’t know what God has planned, but I’m willing to have more than two kids.

I would love to try for a girl, but if it’s another boy, I’ll embrace it wholeheartedly,” Rihanna stated.

This is the video that has her calling having a boy child an “Olympic sport”.
