Nigerian singer and songwriter Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz says he doesn’t know much about the activism of social media sensation Martins Vincent Otse popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).

“I don’t know much about his activism; I’d be honest with you. Prior to the first video where he mentioned me and my dad, I hadn’t seen much of him,” the singer said in a chat on Afrobeats Podcast.

The ‘Soft Work’ singer stressed that the first time he heard of VDM’s cause before he allegedly defamed him and his father, Femi Falana (SAN), was when he waged a war against unregistered skincare vendors in Nigeria. VDM called the vendors out on his various social media handles which brought him into the spotlight.

He said, “What I had seen and remember seeing was from a while ago. Some stuff about people who didn’t have NAFDAC numbers and were selling bleaching products.

“At the time when I saw those clips, I thought, ‘This person seems to be doing something right; this is a good cause,’ but aside from that, I wouldn’t lie to you, I haven’t seen much of his work.”

Commenting on the statements made by VDM, Falz said, “Now, this person, one day, thought it wise to turn on his ring light, sit down, and fire direct statements, insinuations, and innuendoes and allege that myself and my dad connived with certain individuals to manipulate justice and bribe the EFCC.”

“He also added that the reason I had done this was because I had a homosexual relationship with Bobrisky. Going further to say that my posturing as an activist is false. How would anyone feel? These are horrible things to say without proof. How can you just come and allege all these things?”
