Defamation: Falz Denies Relationship With Bobrisky, Insists He Only Tried To Help

NIGERIAN musician, Folarin Falana, professionally known as Falz, has denied having a sensual relationship with controversial crossdresser, Idris Olarewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, insisting he only tried to help someone in need.
In a video post online came amid ongoing legal battles with popular social media influencer, Martind Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, or VDM for short, who last year leaked Falz’s alleged phone conversation with Bobrisky while in prison.
The musician filed a defamation suit against VDM following the controversial audio leak, sparking speculation about his sexual status.
But in an update on the suit during an interview with Arise TV, Falz said VDM had yet to enter the defence.
He stated: “Update on the court case, very much still in court. There’s a substantive suit, which myself and my dad are alleging defamation. We filed the case and ever since we filed the case, they have never entered the defence.
“Instead, they entered a preliminary objection, saying the court doesn’t have jurisdiction to hear the case or something.
“As at the last date, I was in court. The court has thrown out that preliminary objection. Now, they have to enter a defence or the court will just go on to rule on the case.
“That’s the update. I can’t really say much about the subject of current litigation, so I will leave it there.”
He reiterated: “I never had any relationship with Bobrisky prior to that phone call. He messaged me on Instagram and said, ‘I’m in this case and I want to speak to you about how you can help.’ And you know, thousands of people messaged me about similar stuff like that. This is not a special case; it’s not exceptional in any way.
“In a lot of those cases, I will give them an audience, like what is the P, how can I help? Compassionately. Little did I know.
“Anyways, as they say, once bitten, twice shy. At the end of the day, I’m not going to, maybe I’m not going to help anyone again in my life, but maybe I will be much more conscious.”
