Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has clarified that he has no opinion on what controversial social media influencer Martins Otse, aka Very Dark Man (VDM), has shared on social media, saying He apologized to advocate Femi Falana.
According to a report on TheNewsGuru.com (TNG), social activist Berry Darkman said on Tuesday that Bobrisky, a self-proclaimed trans woman, spoke to Fars in prison and Fars and his father, Femi Falana (SAN), were brought to justice in court. He reportedly shared a voice memo making the claim. The plan was to obtain a presidential pardon in exchange for 10 million naira.
In response to the audio, Berry Darkman expressed his disappointment that the popular singer and her father had an affair with a male Barbie doll, leading many to question Fals’ sexual orientation. In a comment that people speculated about, Fals asked if he would really do that.
The highly acclaimed activist also brought up one of Fals’ hit songs, ‘This is Nigeria’, and claimed that he is a hypocrite.
Shortly after releasing the video, Seung revealed on his Instagram that he had given VDM the green light to release the controversial audio tape.
However, in a video he shared on social media on Thursday, October 4, Seun reversed course and said that VDM did not play the audio content and only communicated verbally about it.
He said VDM had no intention of defaming or insulting Falana, his late father and Fela’s lawyer, adding that VDM does not listen to anyone’s opinion and does whatever it thinks is right. said.
He added that although he has had a good relationship with VDM, he has no intention of controlling it in any way.
He said, “I didn’t say any conspiracy, I didn’t have any ulterior motives, because I’m the one who still came out saying he told me before he said it.” If I had pushed him, I never would have said he told me. I would be in the shadows. I told him that the issue was none of my business and that he should go say what he wanted to say.
I’m really sorry if I offended uncle Femi, that wasn’t my intention. I do not want to join anyone in any way, even VDM, to fight uncle Femi Falana. We’ve been through a lot. we have come a long way. What matters to me is the institutional failure of the EFCC to collect the funds in order to drop the money laundering charges. I will never enter into an issue with anyone to defame, insult, or defame someone. ”
He further stated, “When people are involving me in VDM posts and talking about it, am I the producer of VDM?” Does he write what he wants to say to me and get approval? This is surprising to me. In fact, I didn’t know he would be advertising innuendos when he shoots videos…that’s his style. He didn’t tell me he was going to do all that. Even if I told him not to do it, he would do it. ”
Recall, in a recent interview, this respected lawyer had threatened to file a civil suit in the High Court if VeryDarkMan did not apologize for his claims.
