Nigerian musician Dammy Krane has publicly accused social media activist Verydarkman of bias and favoritism in his activism.

This outburst comes after reports surfaced that Verydarkman was ordered by a court to remove content involving prominent lawyer Femi Falana.

Dammy Krane claims that Verydarkman’s current legal challenges are tied to his refusal to investigate allegations against Afrobeats star Davido.

Krane alleges that despite presenting evidence against Davido, Verydarkman chose to ignore it and instead directed his focus on other issues.

According to Krane, this selective approach raises questions about the activist’s motives, suggesting that personal interests might be driving his activism.

The singer also pointed out that the allegations against Davido were initially flagged by the Nigerian police, insinuating that Verydarkman’s failure to address them undermines his credibility. Krane’s accusations have sparked debate about the impartiality and authenticity of Verydarkman’s activism on social media.

Recall, Falz issued a 24-hour ultimatum to social media personality Verydarkman, demanding a retraction of statements implicating him and his father, renowned lawyer Femi Falana, in a money laundering case involving socialite Bobrisky.

The controversy began on September 24, 2024, when Verydarkman shared an audio clip in which Bobrisky alleged that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and his son helped him evade charges after paying ₦15 million to certain EFCC officers.

Bobrisky admitted to bribing EFCC officers to drop money laundering charges and claimed that, instead of serving a prison sentence for naira abuse, he was placed in a private apartment. Verydarkman insinuated that the SAN mentioned in the audio was Femi Falana, and the son was Falz.

Nigerian musician Seun Kuti has come to the defense of prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana, dismissing allegations made against him in a leaked phone call involving crossdresser Bobrisky.

The audio, leaked by online critic Vincent Martins Otse (also known as VeryDarkMan) with Seun Kuti’s approval, alleged that Falana and his son, rapper Falz, demanded N10 million from Bobrisky in exchange for securing a presidential pardon following Bobrisky’s arrest.

Initially supporting the sharing of the leaked call, Seun Kuti took to Instagram to clarify his stance. He firmly stated, “I know Uncle Femi very well… That part about Femi Falana is a scam,” suggesting that the allegations against the lawyer were false.

Kuti also shared personal experiences with Femi Falana, revealing that the lawyer had represented him pro bono in three separate cases involving Nigerian law enforcement. “Uncle Femi Falana is so effing rich… If he believes someone is wrongfully convicted, he’ll get them pardoned without asking for anything,” Kuti explained, further reinforcing Falana’s integrity.

However, Kuti expressed some uncertainty regarding Falz’s involvement, speculating, “Maybe Falz fit talk to Bobrisky, take him papa dey brag… That’s the only way, it doesn’t reach Uncle Femi’s side.”

The scandal has sparked widespread controversy, with many questioning the validity of Bobrisky’s claims. Kuti’s defense of Femi Falana has added another layer to the unfolding drama.

Nigerian lawyer and Human Rights Activist, Femi Falana, reportedly withdraws from representing the late Nigerian artist Mohbad’s family due to family disagreements and conflicting statements.

A surfaced video suggests that challenges arose from Mohbad’s family’s behavior, leading to conflicting statements to the media, hindering the pursuit of justice.

Additionally, the bitter feud within Mohbad’s family, especially involving Mohbad’s father Joseph Aloba and daughter-in-law Wunmi, has exacerbated the situation.

Aloba accused Wunmi of attempting to harm him, while Wunmi responded by initiating legal proceedings against her father-in-law for defamation, adding to the complexity of the situation.

The man in the video also alleged that the court had deemed such family disputes as commonplace and urged Falana not to withdraw from the case, citing his esteemed reputation.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on Falz celebrates parents as his mother, Funmi Falana, earns SAN title.

Femi Falana (SAN), a renowned human rights lawyer, has disclosed that his son, prominent rapper Folarin Falana, commonly known as Falz, has been a vocal critic of the government due to his upbringing.

Speaking on Sunday at the 2nd anniversary of the Oluyinka Odumakin Lecture in Lagos, Falana said that his son used to be concerned about his many arrests as a lawyer when he was younger.

He claimed that he received requests from people to confront Falz about his statements and actions, which are damaging to the reputation of the government.

Mr. Falana claims that Falz is an adult who is aware of his behaviour and that he questioned the source of the idea.

He continued by recalling how his son had frequently seen him get imprisoned numerous times as he was fighting for democracy during the military era.

Falz used to wonder if his father was a criminal because of how frequently he was arrested.

“One of these guys one day said, ‘Falana talk to your son; he should stop embarrassing the government’.

“I said which government? You mean that boy who is an adult? Can I give you his number so you can talk to him?

“But be careful because when that boy was growing up, I was being arrested from time to time.

“So, the only language he understood was detention, arrest and the rest of them.”

Falana went on to explain that when Falz was six years old, he asked his mother, “Our teacher taught us that only criminals were arrested. Is my father a criminal? Why is he always being arrested?”

Falana was constantly being detained by the authorities at the time.

His wife had to explain that during the military regime in Nigeria, only two categories of people were arrested: criminals and political suspects.

“And the mother had to say that in Nigeria, under the military, only two sets of people were arrested: criminal suspects and political suspects.

“Political suspects are those who are out to expose the criminality of the government. That is what you see going on.”

Falana’s statement following the release of Falz’s latest single, ‘Yakubu,’ which includes rapper Vector.

Celebrity parents may automatically teach their children how to behave and carry themselves like famous people, and most of the time, these individuals have the necessary backing from their parents to begin a career in the music industry.

Some of your favourite Nigerian superstars were not just born with these advantages; their parents also assisted in their development or provided funding for their professions. These guys have gone on to develop a completely distinct brand from that of their parents.

Falz just like Fela has been conscientiously and diligently participating in the movement to the actualisation of good governance through music and in real life.

However, it all started as just a mare lyrics, in the early days, Falz was concerned with the governance of his people through music, always expressing how he wants things to be in order.

Also, in the process, many thought it was just music, nothing serious because of how he sometimes infuse comical gestures and expression into the message.

But alas, it turned glaring that he is truly a committed fighter not just with music but also, in reality, strategizing and implementing actions of words.

Falz graduated from the University of Reading, England, with an LLB honours degree in law and also being birthed by Nigerian internationally acclaimed human right activist Femi Falana as a dad, even though it’s not an activist prerequisite probably because most are born with it.

Falz has sent numerous messages to the government through his music, dishing out controversial and critical conscious music.

Also, he dissected the state of the nation in the song ‘This is Nigeria’ sampled from Childish Gambino originally ‘This is America’ making an informative video to express what is happening in the Nigerian system.

Furthermore, he was never limited to the political sector only, just like Fela Kuti, he touched every social spectrum, talks about religious issues, social crisis in general.

Falz was intentional on this record ‘Hypocrite’ highlighting every problem facing Nigeria in just 3 minutes, 46 seconds is quite applaudable.

In conclusion, Falz has been representing the youth and solidifying his name in the book of revolutionary acknowledgement.
