Falz’s sister, Folakemi, to take VDM to court after 24-hour ultimatum
Folakemi Falana, sister of rapper Falz and daughter of esteemed legal expert Femi Falana, has announced their intent to take VeryDarkMan (VDM) to court after he failed to “do the needful” within 24 hours.
On September 25, Falz and Mr. Femi Falana, through their lawyers, issued a letter to VDM, demanding an apology and a retraction of his statements regarding an alleged audio conversation involving Bobrisky.

VDM, however, maintains that he did not defame either Falz or his father.
In a recent Instagram post, Folakemi expressed her frustration, stating, “My parents and our firm, Falana & Falana, have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians absolutely free way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk. Slide 1 is from 2016, and Slide 2 is from 2022.”
She continued, “It’s crazy that some Nigerians act like they can’t read or think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.”
Folakemi criticized the quickness with which people forget the integrity of her family when faced with baseless accusations. “It’s even crazier that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VDM to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption, and perversion of the course of justice, and you suddenly forget who they are and what they stand for,” she said. “For him to have the audacity to go as far as even accusing Falz of being homosexual and having an affair with Bobrisky is wild. The fact that some of you actually believe it is what is blowing my mind.”
She clarified that anyone can write to the president requesting a pardon for a convicted person in Nigeria, asserting, “You don’t even need to be a lawyer to apply for a pardon. That said, Bobrisky never approached anyone in my family or our firm for a presidential pardon.”
To emphasize her point, Folakemi outlined several facts:
1. “My dad has never met or talked to Bobrisky, whether directly or via a proxy.”
2. “Bobrisky reached out to Falz the same way he reached out to many other celebrities asking for money. The reason he gave was so that he could afford to stay in the VIP section of prison. He never discussed a presidential pardon with him. He said he was reaching out from prison, and Falz had no reason to believe otherwise.”
3. “Do you really think my dad or Falz need Bob’s money? For what?”
Folakemi concluded her statement with a clear message: “Seeing as you have refused to do the needful, @verydarkblackman, see you in court.”
