Nigerian singer and activist, Folarin Falana, professionally known as Falz, has warned popular social media critic, VeryDarkMan, that he will get the trouble he is looking for.
Falz said this while speaking for the first time about the ongoing legal battle between him and VeryDarkMan.
NEWSUNPLUG reports that the legal battle followed a leaked voice recording of crossdresser Bobrisky narrating how Falz and his father, Femi Falana, who is a human rights lawyer, allegedly contacted him over a N10 million presidential pardon during his six-month jail term for naira abuse.
The audio which was leaked on social media by VeryDarkMan generated diverse reactions from netizens.
Reacting to the backlash, Falz in a lawsuit explained that Bobrisky was the one who reached out to him to seek financial assistance.
However, speaking in a now trending interview on the Afro Beats podcast, Falz on Wednesday noted that VeryDarkMan lacks proof for his allegations.
While frowning at VeryDarkMan’s failure to tender a public apology, the singer threatened that he will give him the trouble that he is looking for.
“When I reached out to him over the audio, this guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about?
“And he said without mincing words, ‘shebi you are a lawyer, you can go to court’.
“I will have him know that there is a criminal angle to defamation, but I chose not to go that way. He could have been arrested because what you posted is absolutely false and I need you to take it down and tender an apology within a certain amount of time and what did he do? Nothing.
“I don’t know if it portrays him as a hero. He didn’t apologise, and people are trying to peddle me as an oppressor. So if you say you want to find trouble, that is my work. If you insist that’s what you are looking for, let’s go.”
