Falz Denies Bobrisky’s Claims of Prison Help Amid Leaked Audio
Nigerian rapper and activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has addressed allegations involving cross-dresser Bobrisky during his time in prison.
According to reports, Bobrisky was imprisoned for three months after pleading guilty to charges of naira mutilation following his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He was released on August 5, 2024.
The controversy arose when, on September 24, 2024, social critic and activist Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, leaked an alleged voice recording of Bobrisky.
In the audio, Bobrisky claimed that Falz and his father, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), helped to get the EFCC to drop money laundering charges against him while he was incarcerated.
In response to the widespread public reactions to the leaked recording, Falz, through his family’s law firm, Falana & Falana’s Chambers, firmly denied having initiated any contact with Bobrisky during his time in prison.
The legal statement clarified that Bobrisky had only reached out to Falz to request financial assistance of N3 million.
According to the statement, Bobrisky wanted the funds to pay certain officials so he could be placed in the VIP section of the correctional facility.
Falz’s lawyers also took the opportunity to criticize VeryDarkMan for spreading what they described as reckless and unverified allegations without making any effort to reach out for clarification.
The letter, now viral on social media, emphasized Falz’s innocence in the matter and urged for more responsible journalism, especially regarding sensitive issues like this.
This development has sparked further discussions about the role of activists and celebrities in controversial matters, as well as the importance of verifying information before publication.
Falz, known for his social activism and outspoken stance on political issues, continues to maintain his innocence and integrity amid the ongoing dispute.

Niniola Explains Why She Chose to Stay Independent as an Artist
Nigerian singer Niniola has shared her reasons for remaining an independent artist, despite numerous offers from record labels.
Niniola revealed that her decision was rooted in her awareness of the music business and her commitment to preserving her creative freedom.
In a recent interview with TVC, Niniola reflected on her decade-long journey as an independent artist.
She acknowledged that while signing with a record label has its advantages, such as financial backing and wider promotion, it also comes with significant drawbacks.
According to her, labels often dictate artistic direction, which could compromise her unique style and identity.
Recalling the early days of her career, Niniola disclosed that she was approached by a record label shortly after releasing her debut single, Ibadi.
However, she turned down the offer, fearing that signing a deal might force her to change her sound.
At that time, Afro-house—a genre blending African rhythms with house music—was not widely explored in Nigeria, and she was determined to stay true to her style.
“Being an independent artist allows me to control my creativity,” Niniola explained.
“I’ve seen the business side of music, which many artists overlook.
They focus solely on making music, but there’s more to it. I wanted the freedom to make decisions about my art without interference.”
She admitted that remaining independent comes with challenges, including managing her career, finances, and promotion without the support of a major label.
Beyond her career choices, Niniola shared a personal side of herself.
She described herself as an introvert who often prefers solitude, but her passion for music brings out a more outgoing version of her.
“Music makes me an extrovert. It’s where I feel most alive and expressive,” she said.
