Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, has distanced himself from social critic, Very Dark Man’s (VDM), recent controversial audio release involving Bobrisky and Falz.
Seun stated that VDM informed him about the audio tape but he didn’t have any input in its release. “I wasn’t conniving and I did not have any ulterior motive… I told him to go and say what he wants to say.”
Seun clarified that VDM only verbally shared the audio’s content and didn’t play it for him. He emphasized that VDM acts independently, never listening to anyone.
Regarding Falz and his father, Femi Falana, Seun apologized for any offense caused. “I am sorry deeply if that offended Uncle Femi… It is really not my intention.”
Seun highlighted his respect for Falana, who was his late father, Fela’s lawyer. “I will not in any way, shape or form want to join anybody even VDM to fight Uncle Femi Falana.”
Seun noted that his focus is on the institutional lapses of the EFCC, not personal disputes. “The one that matters to me is the institutional lapses of EFCC taking money to drop money laundering charge.”
Regarding VDM’s style, Seun said, “He did not tell me he was going to do all that… Even if I tell him do not do it, he would have done it.”
Seun revealed that he encouraged VDM to resolve issues with Falz amicably. “I told him immediately to call Falz to try and sort it out within yourselves… Left to me, I would love to see an amicable ending.”
Seun emphasized his neutrality in the dispute, refusing to take sides between VDM and Falz. “If two people I take as younger brothers, it is not in my place to take sides.”
