Nigerian musician Seun Kuti has come to the defense of human rights lawyer Femi Falana, dismissing allegations made against him in a leaked phone call involving crossdresser Bobrisky.
The audio, leaked by online critic Vincent Martins Otse (VeryDarkMan) with Seun Kuti’s approval, claimed Falz and his father, Femi Falana, demanded N10 million from Bobrisky for a presidential pardon after his arrest.
So, Seun Kuti, who initially approved sharing the leaked call, clarified his stance on Instagram. He stated: “I know Uncle Femi very well… That part about Femi Falana is a scam.”
Also, Kuti cited his personal experiences with Femi Falana, who reportedly represented him pro bono in three cases with Nigerian law enforcement.
“Uncle Femi Falana is so effing rich… If he believes someone is wrongfully convicted, he’ll get them pardoned without asking for anything.”
However, Seun Kuti expressed uncertainty about Falz’s involvement, suggesting: “Maybe Falz fit talk to Bobrisky, take him papa dey brag… That’s the only way, it doesn’t reach Uncle Femi’s side.”
Lastly, the scandal has sparked controversy, with many questioning the authenticity of Bobrisky’s claims.
