Bobrisky: See you in court, Falz’s sister tells VDM over allegations
Folakemi Falana, the daughter of renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana, has denied allegations of bribery and corruption involving her father, her brother, Nigerian musician Falz, and popular socialite Bobrisky.
Falz had on Wednesday issued a 24-hour ultimatum to VDM, demanding the removal of all defamatory statements.
However, in a statement on Folakemi’s Instagram page on Friday, She clarified that her father had never met or spoken to Bobrisky and that Bobrisky reached out to Falz for financial assistance to stay in the VIP section of prison without discussing a presidential pardon.
She highlighted that, in Nigeria, any citizen has the right to request a pardon for a convicted person, pointing out that her family’s efforts to assist in such cases have been transparent and at no cost.
Folakemi also expressed disappointment over the spread of false rumors, particularly those claiming that Falz is homosexual or involved in an affair with Bobrisky.
She wrote, “My Parents and our firm, Falana & Falana have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians FREE way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk. Slide 1 is from 2016 and Slide 2 is from 2022.
“It’s crazy that some Nigerians act like they can’t read or think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.

“It’s even crazier that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VDM to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption and perversion of the course of Justice and you suddenly forget who they are and what they stand for. For him to have the audacity to go as far as even accusing Falz of being homosexual and having an affair with Bobrisky is wild. The fact that some of you believe it, is what is blowing my mind.
“For the record, anyone can write the president to request a pardon for any convicted person in Nigeria.
“To be crystal clear, the facts are as follows: 1) My dad has never met or talked to Bobrisky whether directly or via a proxy.
“2) Bobrisky reached out to Falz the same way he reached out to many other celebrities asking for money. The reason he gave was so that he could afford to stay in the VIP section of prison. He never discussed a presidential pardon with him. He said he was reaching out from prison Falz had no reason to believe otherwise.
“3) DO you think my dad or Falz need Bob’s money??? for what?.”
Folakemi condemned the accusations as baseless and threatened legal action against the accuser, VeryDarkMan (VDM), saying “Seeing as you have refused to do the needful, #verydarkblackman see you in court.”
Recall that VeryDarkMan recently released audio recordings where Bobrisky allegedly claimed that Femi Falana and his son, Falz, had contacted him before his release from prison.
The recordings also suggested that Femi Falana arranged a settlement for 10 million naira to resolve the case.
