Falz, a popular Nigerian rapper and activist, has revealed that Bobrisky, a well-known social media personality, begged him for N3 million to secure a VIP section at the Correctional Centre. This came to light after Falz’s legal team, Falana & Falana Chambers, issued a letter to Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, demanding the retraction of defamatory statements made against Falz ¹ ².
According to the letter, Bobrisky reached out to Falz for advice on May 4, 2024, regarding his legal troubles related to naira abuse charges.
