The morally conscious rapper is currently in the spotlight following a leaked audio recording.
Nigerian ace rapper Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has come under fire after being linked to a money laundering case involving socialite Bobrisky in a leaked audio.
Recall that In April 2024, Bobrisky was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for defacing the Naira after publicly spraying and displaying large amounts of new currency at the premiere of the film Beasts of Two Worlds on March 24, 2024. After pleading guilty to the charges, he was sentenced to four months in prison, and later stated that he served the entire sentence.
In an update of event, Falz, a rapper, lawyer and activist renowned for his socially conscious music and outspoken personality, found himself embroiled in controversy on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, after social media figure VeryDarkMan shared an explosive audio clip. In the recording, Bobrisky alleged that certain EFCC officers had demanded ₦15 million to drop money laundering charges against him. He admitted to paying the bribe, revealing that, instead of serving time in prison for naira abuse, he was detained in a private apartment.
Making matters worse, Bobrisky also implicated a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and his son, claiming they had helped him evade the charges. VeryDarkMan further alleged that Falz and his father, the prominent SAN Femi Falana, were involved in securing Bobrisky’s legal backing.
