‘If you want trouble, you’ll get it’ – Falz warns VeryDarkMan

Nigerian rapper and activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has issued a strong warning to social media critic VeryDarkMan, warning him of the potential consequences of his actions.

This comes in the wake of a legal dispute between the two, following the release of a leaked audio recording involving crossdresser Bobrisky.

In the audio, Bobrisky allegedly claimed that both Falz and his father, prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana, had sought a N10 million presidential pardon during Bobrisky’s six-month jail term for naira abuse.

The recording, which was shared online by VeryDarkMan, sparked significant reactions across social media.

In response, Falz filed a lawsuit to clarify the situation, stating that it was Bobrisky who had approached him for financial help.

Speaking publicly on the matter for the first time during an interview on the Afro Beats podcast, Falz accused VeryDarkMan of spreading unsubstantiated claims without evidence.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the critic’s failure to offer a public apology and warned that he would “give him the trouble 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?” Falz said.

“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 himself 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.”
