Nigerian rapper and activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has issued a stern ultimatum to internet personality Bobrisky, demanding an apology and retraction of a defamatory statement made against him. According to Falz, Bobrisky falsely claimed that the rapper sought a presidential pardon with a ₦10 million bribe. Falz, known for his outspoken political activism, took to social media to address the issue, giving Bobrisky a 12-hour window to issue a public apology or face legal consequences.
The controversy began when Bobrisky reportedly alleged that Falz had attempted to secure a presidential pardon by offering ₦10 million, sparking widespread debate among fans and the media. Falz, however, vehemently denied the claim, calling it baseless and damaging to his reputation.
In a formal statement, Falz said, “I am not one to engage in baseless back-and-forth, but this is beyond ridiculous. I have never sought, nor would I ever seek, a presidential pardon, let alone offer any bribe. Bobrisky has 12 hours to issue a public apology and retract the defamatory statements or face the full force of legal action.”

Falz’s legal team is reportedly preparing to file a defamation lawsuit if the demand is not met within the given timeframe. The rapper emphasized the seriousness of the false accusation, stating that it undermines his credibility, especially as someone who has consistently criticized corruption and bad governance in Nigeria.
Bobrisky, who is no stranger to controversy, has yet to respond to Falz’s ultimatum. Fans and observers are keenly awaiting the cross-dressing influencer’s next move, with many speculating whether Bobrisky will issue the demanded apology or risk legal repercussions.
This latest drama adds to the growing list of public feuds in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, and with the clock ticking on Falz’s ultimatum, the situation is poised to escalate if a resolution is not reached swiftly.
