Using the audio call VDM leaked on Bobirksy and EFCC, Seun explained that he had no say over how the critic interpreted the crossdresser’s clip.

He also noted that if he had tried to stop the VDM from sharing the audio online, he wouldn’t have listened to him. In a nutshell, Seun claimed that the TikToker is only controlled by his thoughts and decisions.

The father of one went on to apologise to Seun Kuti. He claimed that he did not support the way VDM addressed the senior lawyer in the viral video.

According to Seun, VDM didn’t play the recording for him but only informed him about Bobrisky’s alleged bribe with EFCC, which he was more concerned about exposing.
