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.

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.

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”.

Speaking on the show ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, the singer claimed he wrote numerous hit songs for his former label mate, Wizkid.

Skales revealed that he played a role in the creation of several tracks on Wizkid’s debut album, Superstar, including the bonus track ‘Wiz Party.’

He emphasized that their collaboration at EME was a two-way street. While Skales contributed to Wizkid’s projects, the Grammy-winning artist also wrote songs for him, such as the popular track ‘Mukulu.’

Reflecting on their partnership, Skales stated, “Back in EME, we were a team. We used to write songs for each other. I wrote for Wizkid, and he wrote for me. It was all about teamwork.”

However, their time at the label wasn’t without challenges.

After a series of disagreements with Banky W, both Skales and Wizkid eventually parted ways with EME.

In a separate interview, Banky W disclosed that Wizkid still owed the label three albums based on his initial contract.
