Many will sink, VDM replies Bobrisky with N1bn suit

VeryDarkMan, the controversial activist, has fired back at social media celebrity Bobrisky after receiving a N1 billion lawsuit threat for alleged defamation.

Earlier on Sunday, Bobrisky’s legal team shared a document accusing VeryDarkMan of releasing an AI-generated recording to damage her reputation. They demanded a retraction and apology within 24 hours.

Reacting to the letter in an Instagram post, VeryDarkMan claimed he obtained the WhatsApp conversation from someone Bobrisky allegedly contacted.

The activist also questioned Bobrisky’s sudden strength despite previous suicidal thoughts. He also threatened to countersue the crossdresser for N1,000,000,020, humorously intending to make a gain of N20.

VeryDarkMan also warned that the integrity of many will be compromised during the legal battle.

“Bobrisky, did you not say you wanted to ‘kpai’ yourself? Are you not doing it again? Anyway, in this case, they will exchange their credibility for my publicity again as usual. I will suffer them. The integrity of a lot of people will go down. You will hate why you take this case like this. I promise you that. From now, Bobrisky now has the strength to sue me and gave me 24 hours. That means they are working together. I am thinking what I have exposed is bigger than what it is,” he said.

“Did Bobrisky later pay someone N3 million when he did not get it from Falz? I can stand for myself anywhere. Bobrisky has sued me N1 billion but I will caricature it more with N1,000,000,020 billion and N20 gain. I will make all of you stupid in this country.

“WhatsApp calls are encrypted. How many hours did Bobrisky get to talk to Falz for that long? If he had such a long time to talk to the other person I got this recording from, and called other people from prison, how many times did you give him the phone?”

Bobrisky’s saga started on Tuesday after VeryDarkMan, born Martins Otse, shared a purported audio recording online wherein she claimed she bribed some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials with N15,000,000 to drop the charges against her.

Bobrisky, whose birth name is Idris Okuneye, was released from prison on August 5 after she was sentenced to six months on April 12 for abusing the naira.

In the footage shared by the activist, the crossdresser claimed her “godfather” alongside Haliru Nababa, the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) controller general, ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment, and not the prison.

Reacting, the self-proclaimed transgender described the viral recording as “fake”. She argued that she did not pay any amount to the anti-graft agency.

Bobrisky’s denial came after the anti-graft agency invited her and VeryDarkMan over bribery allegations against its officials.

Ola Olukoyede, the EFCC chairman, also ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations.

Bobrisky earlier disclosed she was contemplating suicide.

The federal government also suspended two officials of the NCoS over bribery allegations involving the transgender.

*Tells him to be ashamed of himself

By Francesca Hangeior

Media personality Toke Makinwa has slammed artist 2Baba for publicly revealing that he and his wife, Annie, are getting a divorce.

Recall that in an Instagram post on Sunday, 2Baba revealed that they had been separated for some time and are now in the process of filing for divorce, putting an end to their 12-year marriage.

Responding directly to the video posted by 2Baba on Instagram, where he confessed to making the controversial divorce announcement, Toke wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”

Toke expressed her frustration further by posting a message on her Instagram story, targeting those remaining neutral on the issue.

She wrote, “I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family.

“No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”

Undeterred, Makinwa, in another Instagram story post on Monday, questioned 2Baba’s decision to bring the divorce to the public, emphasising that the full truth will be revealed in due time.

“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?

“We know what is going on behind closed doors. The world doesn’t know anything; it’s already been hectic with opinions flying around, and when I say we will fight for her, I’m not talking about the general public.

“A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell. Timing is everything; empathy is everything. You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she wrote.

South African influencer Kefilwe Mabote, known for her appearance on the ‘Young, Famous and African’ Netflix series, has posted a video on Instagram setting fire to designer items, many of which were from the luxury brand Versace.

Kefilwe Mabote, who had been a pioneer in luxury fashion influencing in South Africa, filmed herself burning several Versace pieces, particularly those with the ‘Medusa’ logo.

In her Instagram story, she wrote, “Burning the Medusa face was one of the most freeing and therapeutic things I’ve ever done. It was part of breaking down the idols I unknowingly built in my heart, the very things that distracted me from fully walking with Jesus.”

She emphasised that she has found God and that there are many things she once followed and didn’t understand were actually evil, adding that these revelations have now become clearer to her.

Prior to this, she kickstarted 2025 by giving away some of her luxury clothes, including some high-end designer pieces, to her loyal followers.

Kefilwe, butressing on her spiritual awakening, mentioned practices such as idolatry, horoscopes, new age beliefs, unforgiveness, soul ties, certain cultural traditions, wrong associations, and even some social media trends as “evil things” from which she has repented.

“These things kept me bound without me realising it and were tools the enemy used to keep me in bondage,” she reflected.

The popular model added that she has fully surrendered to Jesus, repented of her sins, and renounced everything that gave the devil access to her life.

“I see life differently now, and I’ve learned to live with humility,” she wrote.
