Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has addressed the issue between online critic Vincent Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, rapper Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana, and his father, Femi Falana.

Recall that social media was buzzing with excitement after VDM leaked a phone call Bobrisky had with an unknown person. In the audio, the crossdresser made claims about Falz and Femi Falana charging him N10 million to get him a presidential pardon after his arrest.

The drama spilled to Seun Kuti’s end after he made a video stating that he was aware of the matter before VDM posted it online and that he gave him his full approval to share the leaked call with Nigerians.

Seun Kuti defends Femi Falana

In a new development, Seun Kuti went on his Instagram page to express his feelings about Femi Falana’s mention in the leaked phone call.

According to Seun, he does not believe the claims made about the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), but he doesn’t know about his son, Falz’s, involvement.

The music star explained that he knows Femi Falana very well and even recounted how the lawyer did not collect a dime from him when he had three serious cases with Nigerian law enforcement.

According to Seun Kuti, the phone call must have been a scam because Bobrisky was only packaging himself while trying to get money from someone. The singer also added that Femi Falana is a very rich man.

The singer said in part:

“I will repeat what I said here yesterday, that part of Femi Falana, I will repeat it anywhere, it’s a scam. You know why I’m saying that? It’s because I know Uncle Femi very well. I don’t know about Falz o, maybe Falz fit talk to Bobrisky, take him papa dey brag, people do it, that is the best scenario I can think of say if the thing even happen, that’s the only way, e no reach Uncle Femi side. I’m saying this because all through my life wey I grow up, since my father died, I don enter three serious yawa with Nigerian law enforcement, Uncle Femi did not collect a dime from me to fight those three cases and I can count another seven or eight serious cases wey I know of, wey Uncle Femi stand for the person just based on say ‘you’re innocent’, he no collect one dime. If Uncle Femi believe say somebody dey wrongfully convicted and he go get am pardoned, trust me, Baba no go ask anybody for anything. Uncle Femi Falana is so effing rich as well. No be him tell me say he get money o.”
