Recall that the Nigerian social media space started buzzing with activity after VDM leaked crossdresser Idris ‘Bobrisky’ Okuneye’s phone call in a bid to help someone retrieve the N4 million he was owed.

In the voice recording, Bobrisky mentioned Falz and his dad, Femi Falana. As VDM shared the audio, he also made some suggestions about the rapper and his lawyer father, which did not go down well with their family. Falz’s sister, Folake, tacked the critic online.
VDM replies Falz’s sister
After Falz’s sister, Folake Falana, told VDM that they would see in court over his failure to retract and apologise for his statements, the online critic took to his Instagram page to address her.
VDM started by saying the Falanas should have joined hands with him to expose the corruption he exposed in the leaked audio, but they decided to attack him instead because their dad’s name was mentioned.
VeryDarkMan asked Folake if her father and Falz’s names weren’t truly mentioned in the audio and why they expected him to exclude their names because he liked them. He clarified his statements about the Falanas in the video he released of Bobrisky’s call and how he included conditional words like “if” in his statements.
In his words:
"Instead of us joining hands to fight this corruption against these agencies, everybody is coming for me because your father’s name was mentioned. Was your father’s name not in the recording? Na me chook Femi Falana’s name for the recording? Na me chook Falz’s name for the recording? The only thing I said was if this turns out to be true, I will not have any more respect for them, If! I even went on to say that I refuse to believe! Next thing, Falz go drop letter say if I no retract… retract what? Na me put your name there? Now you dey say you want take me go court. There’s no problem, highest you lock me up for six months or one year. I don’t know what you people wanted. You people wanted me to play the voice note and remove Uncle Femi Falana’s name and Falz’s name? What kind of human being will I be? Which kain justice I wan find if the people wey I like, their name no go dey there. Who am I? I am not a hypocrite. Since I came on social media, I have the option to make millions of naira and I for dey chill but I sacrificed all those things because I know there are people that are being oppressed and I decided to use my platform to speak up for them. Since I came on social media, you know how many people my voice don help?”
VDM tells Falanas he's not bothered
Speaking further in the video, VeryDarkMan clarified that he was not bothered even if the Falanas decided to take action against him. He said:
“Una dey come for me because na me post am. Tomorrow you will come and say you dey fight for human rights, but I don’t care. If at the end of the day una throw me enter cell, there’s no problem, I swear to God I am not bothered.”

VDM's public sympathy won't work
In a chat with Legit.ng, a Nigerian man had this to say about the Falanas taking legal action against VDM:

VDM is seeking public sympathy, and it won’t work in the courts. Good luck to him."
