Famous Nigerian singer, Folarin Falana, professionally known as Falz, has denied having a relationship with controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky.
This is coming amid the ongoing legal battles with popular social media critic, VeryDarkMan.
Media Talk Africa reports that VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM, had last year leaked Falz’s alleged phone conversation with Bobrisky while in prison.
In response, the singer filed a defamation suit against VDM.
The development sparked widespread homosexual speculation about the singer.
However, giving an update about the court case in an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday evening, Falz stated that VDM has yet to “enter the defense.”
Speaking about his relationship with Bobrisky, Falz denied having a relationship with the crossdresser, noting that he only tried to help.
“Update on the court case, very much still in court. There’s a substantive suit which myself and my dad are alleging defamation. We filed the case and ever since we filed the case, they have never entered the defense. Instead, they entered a preliminary objection saying the court doesn’t have jurisdiction to hear the case or something.
“As at the last date, I was in court. The court has thrown out that preliminary objection. Now they have to enter a defense or the court will just go on to rule on the case. So that’s the update. I can’t really say much about the subject of current litigation, so I will leave it there.
“I never had any relationship with Bobrisky prior to that phone call. He messaged me on Instagram and said, ‘I’m in this case and I want to speak to you about how you can help.’ And you know, thousands of people messaged me about similar stuff like that. This is not a special case; it’s not exceptional in any way.
“In a lot of those cases, I will give them an audience, like what is the P, how can I help? Compassionately. Little did I know. Anyways, as they say, once bitten, twice shy. At the end of the day, I’m not going to, maybe I’m not going to help anyone again in my life, but maybe I will be much more conscious,” he stated.
