“Trouble Is My Work” – Falz Claps Back At VeryDarkMan (Video)

Nigerian rapper Falz has spoken out about the defamation case he filed against social media personality VeryDarkMan.

The case arose after VDM accused Falz and his father, the well-known human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), of helping the crossdresser Bobrisky escape money laundering charges.

In a interview on the Afrobeats Podcast, Falz explained his side of the story and shared details of his conversation with VeryDarkMan after the latter posted a viral video with the defamatory claims. Falz said he approached VeryDarkMan calmly to resolve the issue, but VeryDarkMan became defensive right away.

“This guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about? And he said to me, without mincing words, ‘shebi you’re a lawyer; go to court,’” Falz recounted.

Falz also mentioned that while he had the option to file criminal charges for defamation, he decided not to pursue that route. He explained, “I’ll have you know that there’s a criminal angle to defamation, and I chose not to go that way. He could have very well been arrested. What you’ve posted is a load of bollocks, absolutely false, and I need you to take it down and offer an apology within a certain amount of time, and what did he do? Nothing.”

The rapper expressed his frustration not only at the false accusations but also at the disrespect shown to his father, Femi Falana, who is known for defending the oppressed. Falz emphasized how hurtful the situation was, stating, “I no dey find trouble Baba, I dey my dey. You set your ring light and begin dey talk all this nonsense about me, and you expect me to sit down? He trampled on everything my father stood for, sticking out his neck for the oppressed. So this level of disrespect? See our people say that any child who says his mother would not sleep, he himself would not sleep.”

Falz ended by making it clear that he was ready to take on the situation. “If you say you want to find trouble, trouble is my work. If you say that’s what you’re looking for, let’s go,” he added.
