Written by MAX FM on September 25, 2024
Nigerian rapper Falz is under fire for his alleged connection to a money laundering case involving Bobrisky. This controversy arose from a leaked audio recording that has stirred significant public interest.
In April 2024, the EFCC arrested Bobrisky for displaying large amounts of new currency at the Beasts of Two Worlds premiere. After pleading guilty, he received a four-month prison sentence, claiming to have served the full term.
The situation escalated on September 24, 2024, when social media influencer VeryDarkMan released an explosive audio clip.
In the recording, Bobrisky claimed that EFCC officers demanded a ₦15 million bribe to drop the money laundering charges. He also said authorities kept him in a private apartment instead of sending him to prison.
Bobrisky further implicated a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and his son, saying they helped him avoid legal consequences.
VeryDarkMan added that Falz and his father, the respected SAN Femi Falana, were involved in providing Bobrisky with legal support.
As the audio spread, EFCC media head Dele Oyewale announced that chairman Ola Olukoyede ordered an investigation into the allegations. This news made Falz a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter), prompting a wave of public reactions.
Fans and critics have voiced their opinions online, many questioning Falz’s involvement in the case. Known for his socially conscious music and activism, Falz has built a reputation for addressing important issues through his art. This controversy has raised eyebrows among his supporters, who are now eager for clarification.
The rapper has yet to publicly respond to the allegations. As the situation unfolds, many are watching closely to see how it will impact his career and public image.
As the EFCC investigation unfolds, new details may emerge that could shift the narrative around Falz and Bobrisky.
Online discussions show that this story has captured the Nigerian public’s attention, raising questions about celebrity, legality, and accountability.
