Nigerian rapper Falz has addressed the comments made by social media personality Very Dark Man (VDM), emphasizing that he is not very familiar with VDM’s work. Falz expressed surprise at the defamation allegations made against him, stating that he didn’t know much about VDM before the incident.
In a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, Falz recounted his initial reaction to VDM’s defamatory claims and the ensuing conversation. He noted, “This guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about?” Falz indicated that he sought an apology and retraction of the statements but received no cooperation.
